Tribute

Her kisses stained the soft flesh of my shoulder

Like a midnight sunburn.

Oh, how it throbs with every quick flutter

Of my heart.

An romantic evening at the beach,

The waves softly caressing the shore like

A lover may shim her fingers quietly along

My sharp jaw.

Her touch so sweet,

It blinds my eyes with tears and chokes me

With the gentle care she shows.

Ah love...how it heals so many years

Of bitter woe.
