upon my eyes

By Just a Rose

My lips long to feel
The graze of yours

But do not give into their temptations

For a kiss on the lips is a betrayal of the senses
Leading me astray
A moment of lust is all it speaks

Rather a kiss upon the eyes
Whispers eternity…
A kiss to the soul


That is what is needed
To assure this scared spirit

Tainted by so many before
Frightened …
Of the thought
A future of empty nights
Without you


In days like these
That is your obligation
Reassurance this is not my fate

Let me know
This our beautiful world
Will not come crashing down…

Ever

A kiss upon my eyes
Is your undertaking of always
