A Kiss Too Late
Regretably the moment passed,
For one last kiss, the chance expired.
Invisibly your time amassed,
To go beyond all things desired.
Too late I hear those mocking words;
Your opportunity has gone!
Such dreams now seemingly absurd,
Trapped within one haunting song.
If I could have that day once more
instead of waving hands would show,
one long embrace with you explore,
then you could leave and I might go.
No, this was not just one more death
that parted me from every breath,
For your soul so cruelly apprehended,
left behind the long tormented.
Neil Graham Marsden
