An Angels Kiss
By J. S. Monti
The daily thoughts of mortal man,
Ne’er stray toil till days end.
When nights dark cloak a solemn veil.
Leads to dreams of failures tale.
In this deep and restless night,
Nightmares come in wingless flight.
A vision seen in black and white.
Hovers o’er this head tonight.
Flowing robes and open hand,
Beckons nearer to her stand.
To look into her soul-less eyes,
Facing truth? Or countless lies.
A swirling sea of smoky mist,
Surrounds the earth neath clenching fist.
In icy columns chilling blood.
Tears I weep in torrent flood.
Then burst upon this dreary scene,
An Angel sent my soul redeem.
In blinding color standing there,
Eyes of blue and red of hair.
Dressed in flowing gown of white,
Stark contrast to this endless night.
Eyes of comfort, warmth, and love.
Sent to me from God above.
And in those lovely eyes so blue,
Speaks to me of love so true.
Her arms around me safely tight.
Gets me through another night.
For when life’s shadows dim your dreams,
Seek shelter in your Angels wings.
Beside me warm and gentle fair,
I wake to find you lying there.
Upon my grateful, smiling lips,
I bend to offer days first kiss.
No more to dread nights ebon hue.
Know this poem I wrote for you.
