If I were to stand in a pool of your tears <br />And found that my acts placed them there <br />Then love, my love… I would sink to hell. <br />Where there is life I would not dwell. <br /> <br />My heaven, sweet heaven, is in your smile, <br />And heaven’s beauty I wish not defile; <br />So, if my lips were to kiss one not your own, <br />I pray my head would fall off its bone <br />That it does not reach my heart of stone, <br />Which will rot as this virus spreads. <br />Instead of betraying your love, I rather be dead. <br /> <br />And if my hands were to hold her waist as done to yours, <br />My limps, every finger, I pray would be strewn <br />Upon the ground, for it is better if I were a thought, <br />Than to betray the one who gave me her heart. <br /> <br />Your heart I value much more than rain <br />On a desert journey of many years. <br />Thirst be thirst… to mine for you, nothing compares. <br />I long for you as a desert does for dew. <br />Knowing that which I receive is not from me, <br />I value your love; each day it gives jubilee. <br /> <br />Your kiss is more than a kiss, it is a sign, <br />And it says for eternity you will be mine. <br />And as your shadow does, I belong to you, <br />I love you.<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-kiss-is-more-than-a-kiss/
