To Once


If by the words I speak
something more, something deep
holds across the barriers of fate
and seals upon your lips the gate
Of loves quest and therein the hope
that all falls silent where words do scope
and hold each of us within their spell
Saves us from our own little hell
to find in the summit of all our dreams
The place where everything it seems
holds to the promise
that far scented bliss
and draws from these lips
One stolen kiss.
