But Kiss Me

Just close your eyes, let’s go to sleep,
the strain is over, no pain to keep,
rest our spirits, no need to seek.
Be on your way, but kiss me, before you go.

Your wish is mine, until the end,
when there’s no time, no more to spend,
waiting will be hard, the soul will mend.
Now on your way, but kiss me, before you go.

Grasping that hand, I’ve kissed before,
the ring still there, for ever more,
no secrets untold, no veils were tore.
Go on your way, but kiss me, before you go.

Holding so soft, cuddled so tight,
no word ever said, senses seem right,
oneness of one, has but testified.
Alas be gone, but kiss me, before I go.
