Kiss of death
Gentle yet deep
Pressing faintly in the mist
Of the hard heavy rain
The mourning sky cloaked in darkness
Clouds carry the weight of agony
The seething storm echoes
The anger raging within

Let go
Yes release
As water falls
And drops to her knees
Tears trickle slow
Then more eager
To find their way
Towards one another
Puddled reflections form

Time slips away
Loved ones pause
Gripped hand in hand
Holding onto something more
Clinging in desperation
To every moment
One last goodbye
Kiss of death
