Yonder skies

Snuggling in the warmth of his coat,

I embraced him ,

with all I had left in me.

I sealed his lips

With a maritime kiss

Before he set offshore.

He looked at me one last time.

His lips broke into a smile

Little did he know, 

that Grim Reaper lay in my wait.

And all I wanted to do was-

Stand on my tiptoes,

And whisper into his ear, 

"Love, will you meet me yonder? 

I'll wait for you in the wild blue,

high up in the sky."
