I once blew a soft kiss into space,

With a prayer it would lite on her face,

In a desperate moment when torment had ripped my soul from inside,

Through space I flew to her and watched her sleep as I softly cried,

Applause for the desperate man in need,

No matter the distance love will succeed,

All the feelings I held so tightly inside with her image pushed in deep,

With a dreamed image in my head I danced until I finally found sleep,

Somehow I survived to be here at last,

Will I ever be whole or did it come too fast,

What’s left in my mind are the pains of desolation telling me I’m all alone,

A gift from a land so foreign that loneliness is the only place to call home,

Did you cry for me as a man one night all alone,

Sweet angel I have sins of war I must first atone,

May I go home now and sleep in my bed or will I find souls of enemy dead,

My heart and my mind are so burdened of wars sin that my hands are red,

Please don’t ever leave me don’t drive away,

It is for you that I survived to stand here today,

Told that I’m all alone, to exist as a discard of your love, to start anew,

Yet my pained heart cries to the wind “that doesn’t sound like you”,

Of the kisses I blew did any find you,

Or travel the emptiness of “time that flew”,

Should I steal a kiss and run from it all like a thief in the night to hide,

Place a casket at the door with tombstone marking the boy that died,

I survived it for you to return as I said,

And kiss once more the image in my head,

Etched in my face and shown by the gray in my head it was no easy task,

But the boy you knew died on a river boat and I’m the remains if they ask,

I promised once more to return to you,

With all that I am I will make sure it’s true,

For nearly two years I’ve stared deep into the past and clung to your kiss,

So many words I sent into space with a whisper of love and treasure this,

Now I stand at your door and you say hello,

Inside my head I’m begging you never go,

All that I am is mixed into you as I am but the dirt that feeds the crop,

The garden to be sewn of our seed has yet to start or will you say stop,

When your smile caught a morning ray,

Came a reflection of love to forever stay,

It shone through the dark vastness of space to light up the night skies,

Reflecting on kisses and whispers of love to be seen as stars by our eyes,

All the kisses I threw with whispers in air,

Are lighting the sky as proof my love is there,

As I stared backwards in time to find your love the future flew by too fast,

And it scared me to death that tomorrow’s love had become our past,

In a moment in time a lifetime was cast,

How is it your love makes time move so fast,

From a word of hello came the words I had kept locked up inside too long,

Please don’t ever leave me my angel after fifty years my love is still strong,

How you’ve loved me is beyond my mind,

But a series of lies has made you blind,

Eyes closed in the sun denies the heat just as love changes what you see,

From far in your past came a man that seen from afar is what’s left of me,

We woke in the night embracing our love,

Then danced under the starlight of above,

In a series of dreams from long ago, long before I was forced off to war,

I danced with you under starlight made of kisses, words of love, and more,

Under a halo of angel kisses and the love word,

I whispered love for you loud enough to be heard,

And I held you until tomorrow as your beauty brought tears to flow,

Of every love story in time ours is the greatest story I will ever know,

The soft smile on your lips tingles my heart,

To hold you so tenderly is my life’s best part,

I am but a microsecond in time similar to a spark that for a moment did shine,

To the rest of the world I am nothing, but only I, am the spark you called mine,

Don’t ever leave me, please don’t ever go,

For I am the love that will forever glow,

To shine forever at night or in the blue,

I am the one that will always love you.

Oh how I love you my beautiful little angel.
