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.
