GIVE ME YOUR LIPS

This is a poem I wrote for my wife a few weeks ago, and the photo is of her.

GIVE ME YOUR LIPS.

Give me your lips, my angel

And give me your smile,

Give me your moments, darling,

Just tarry awhile

For ours is the music from hearts that belong

In the temple of being, to the timeless old song

That sings of our yearning,

Our own kind of learning,

Our panache and our styleâ€¦.

And Iâ€™ll give you my lips, my angel,

And all that is me,

Iâ€™ll give you my lifetime

And all I can be,

And weâ€™ll listen together, your heart in mine,

Our hopes both together in loverâ€™s design

The wonder of being

Our joy in just seeing

How love sets us freeâ€¦

I haven't heard the word Tarry in a long time. You are quite a poet.
