The Last Kiss Goodbye

James Fox

The chance meeting that started

A life of love that

Never grew flowers,

But lived in every way

 

Too young to see

The power of the union,

There was no kiss,

But the promise held its’ rapture

 

The time was not right

But life had other plans

 

Another generation passed,

Their eyes met again.

Unable to be together,

The flame still shone

From the chance meeting

 

They learned lessons

About love, life

And themselves.

Slowly fate was revealing

Its intent and possibilities

 

They had the chance for

The future they had dreamed of.

The kisses of true love

Had gently revealed its beauty

 

Once again, the chains were broken.

But they had not lost

The connection that occurred

In the heavens of time

 

As if drawn again

By the mystery of this life,

The love shone in their eyes.

Once again, more intense than ever

 

Age was telling them that

This is how love really is,

No measure of time would

Ever dim their soul connection

 

Was this the chance to

Experience loves last kiss?

Had eternity arrived?

Wishing upon a star.

 

Was the last kiss goodbye

Finally about to shine on

Their life of love?

A life that dreamers know.

 

They promised to wait in heaven

If necessary, to be together.

Would the last kiss happen on a deathbed?

Life’s love to be celebrated.

 

The answer is no,

This cannot be.

Life has the last laugh.

They walk away for the final time…..

 

The love of this life

Will be celebrated in heaven.

Where it was made

The life of this love must end.
