KISSING THE GODDESS

A Dream I Had This Evening -

A Dream Of Dyed Red Hair...

A Goddess Over The City You Were -

I Looked Up And Saw You There.

You Were Smile And Tassel Dangling -

You Were Madness And Mind Mangling...

You Were Sad To Watch Gun Fire -

As You Shined For My New Lover...

And You Blew A Kiss From Heaven -

And I Knew I Was Forgiven...

For Poetry Was My Promise -

But You The Ever Doubting Thomas...

Had Seen Poetry And Magic -

You'd Seen Drama Laughter Tragic...

All Of That And More -

Within The Man You Knew Before.

For Though I'm Mortal Failure Flaw -

Poetic Justice In Me Saw...

You Saw My Passion And My Bliss -

When You Looked Down...

Beneath Your Crown...

Two Men Knelt Down...

And Shared A Kiss.

And That Kiss Released Me From My Debt -

You Laughed In Triumph Without Regret...

Your Tears Were Joyous Falling Rain -

My Lover Touched My Face Again...

And The Goddess Watched And Remembered The Past...

And Knew We Were Both Where We Wanted At Last.

For Your 20th Birthday And More -

You've Been Godess And Lover...

You Are All Things To Me...

All Things And More.

I'll Love You Always...
