You loved me for an hour But only with your eyes; Your lips I could not capture By storm or by surprise. Your mouth that I remember With rush of sudden pain As one remembers starlight Or roses after rain... Out of a world of laughter Suddenly I am sad.... Day and night it haunts me, The kiss I never had. Sydney King Russell
