-- The Sky of Her --

John Herlihy

He kissed her,

As found in the perfume of her desire.

He missed her,

As singed in the smokeless flame of his fire.

He trusted her,

As filled with her sense of true honesty.

He believed in her,

As touched by the shadow of her mystery.

He wanted her,

As wrapped in the promise of her hope.

He needed her,

As ribboned in the security of her rope.

He felt her,

As soft as the texture of silky rabbit fur.

He loved her,

As surrounded by the sky of her.
