I've kissed

 

I’ve kissed your feet,

I’ve kissed your hands,

I’ve kissed your eyes and ears.

I’ve kissed your smile

I’ve kissed your frown

and I’ve kissed away your tears

I’ve kissed you in the morning

with sleep dust in your eyes,

and in the tired evening

under woven sunset skies.

I’ve kissed you as a child,

I’ve kissed as a man.

I’ve kissed in need of nurture

and I’ve kissed where life began.

I’ve kissed you in the knowing

and, when you were unaware,

on the pillow while you were sleeping

I’ve kissed your flowing hair.

I’ve kissed you

when I’ve missed you

though you were not there.

And I’ll kiss you again tomorrow

unless night steals you away

and even then, in sorrow,

I’ll kiss you through the day.
