KISS OF DEATH
She had goals and dreams
She had hopes
Hopes of love dreams of family
and a home
Oh yea she had plans
The future was in her grasp
She was a giving soul a savior of sorts
Soothing hearts and minds
It was only a matter of time for her
dreams to shine.
Life's funny though, you get over the
hills and blocks everything seems really
nice
In came love with no ordinary gifts
Who would have guessed it would be
the KISS OF DEATH
Her spirits still here in my heart and soul
But her joy escapes me as she has been
laid to rest
How could this have been her blessing
for being such a caring soul
I weep for her still though, as the years
continue to pass
What a way to go
All for the KISS OF DEATH
Why couldn't he have been as loving
as she
Sure he was giving but it was
the KISS OF DEATH
My sister I will always love you and
never forget that Kiss that took you
from me
I still ache for you, all cause of that
KISS OF DEATH
That love you so blindly sought
Now she's gone and two motherless boys
are left and some brothers and sisters too
No the pain hasn't lessened
We all still ache for you
She had big dreams
Dam that KISS OF DEATH
If I could I would have taken your place
I wouldn't have hesitated, not for one sec,
cause dear sister your gone and the
pains still too great
All this All this, cause she dared to give
it her all
How evil some can be, giving out
KISSES OF DEATH
Watch out for that KISS
It took her from me
and the pain won't let up
Notes: I wrote this poem in dedication to my sister.
She contracted the HIV virus from her husband and
died in '93. I wrote this in January this year
'98. as I so often think of her especially in
January since it's the month she was born in. I
wrote a poem for my brother who also died of the
same illness six months prior to her death, and
who's birthday also is the same month. I will
share the poem I wrote for him another time. I
will forever keep them in my heart. My sister
and brother both overcame a lifetime of emotional
suffering to aspire to all things great and for
that I will always be proud of them both.
