With Wine and Roses

I would love to hear you say,

“I love you”

but if your words have truth,

how much more honesty shall I find in the eloquence of your kiss?

Words are words.

Easily spoken and quickly forgotten.

I want to taste the emotions of your soul wrapt in the tempest.

Adrift on the sea of your passion and drowning in the heedless urgency of your kisses.

By turn wild without restraint or languorous and panting between the rising swells of need,

lips gently pressing...

And words no longer needed are replaced with sounds,

an intimate language conveying more than mere words could ever speak.

Make me close my eyes to the world and lose myself in your kisses.

***

Surprise me at times with the unlooked for kiss.

That moment in passing when you thought enough to pause and share a kiss with me.

An unlooked for pleasure in lives filled with a thousand moments consumed with the necessities of life.

Let me know that I'm still necessary in yours.

Anchor me to your heart with a kiss.

To have my last thought at night be to kiss you and greet you again in the morning with the same.

This speaks love to me.
