Kiss
by
Nathanael Smith

Will you give me a kiss
While I stay and wait?
Will you let me miss
To see me fall and fade
Like a wispy cloud at noon
Like a thought under the moon
To lose my identity
To lose what I can see
In the crowd of those lost
To try to make the most
Like an overused adverb
Or an ancient unknown word
Will you grant me a kiss?
Will you light my world?
