Thus, I Kiss Your Letter

(Image: http://magpietales.blogspot.in/2016/03/mag-308.html)

I will kiss your letter

and post it in the box

then wait for it to come back

and re-read on the rocks

the pen that you once held

to script a fairy tale

now lies dumped somewhere

love, we simply failed

I was once your queen of hearts

you bestowed on me gifts galore

was that night our swansong

morning you left me far ashore

how could I leave you thus

your fragrance on my lips

am I wrong to think this way

you sealed betrayal with a kiss

no more letters from you

nor any words of hope

I now treasure the words of yore

those mails, my only dope

and thus, I kiss your letter

and post it in the box

then wait for it to come back

and re-read on the rocks
