One More Wet Kiss

He heard the soft crunch of the frozen snow underneath his feet
He saw the light flickering from the parking lamp
Lighting the edges of the falling flakes
He bent down and felt the cold ground become wet at his touch
He could smell the crisp air that he saw briefly before him
He knew what was growing within him
And it wasn’t a sense of well being
She whispered into a gentle wind
As gleaming snowflakes melted on her skin
Her large moist eyes were from Zhavago
Longing for long forgotten references
The beautiful mask that she used
No longer held back the stratosphere
It had been eaten away by acid rain
Pretty was not her adjective anymore
Time tested came to mind
The color in her eyes had faded with her time
However, there were years left in her sight
He wanted to replace this winter wonderland
With the sandy beach that they had last visited
Who had said what two weeks before
Didn’t matter there
The day’s heat had matched the night’s
Geckos lightly running through the shrubs
Slightly making the leaves move
Mirrored the way that they had laughed at his stupid jokes
Standing together on the edge of the peer
Watching the sun play with reflections on the sea
Of well being and the sense that they had shared
That at that moment all would be as lasting as their
Kiss
