The Words of a Kiss
The words of a kiss are ancient they say.
They’re spoken moments they act out a play.
Each tender small touch each moment sublime,
speaks volumes in verse, in prose, and in rhyme.
They cannot be counted by clocks on the wall.
Nor is there measure not great or not small.
Each one is a concert in passions bright room.
They each sing their own song; some joy and some doom.
I remember the first days when talk was all cheap,
when climbing a mountain was but a small leap. The days passed in plenty the years rolled on by,
yet ever that lip song still lets out his sigh.
Though often our troubles, our worries, our pain,
will insert a barrier where love had once lain.
Then still waits a new song with words just the same.
A gentle soft answer my kiss is its name.
It waits in the evening, it waits in the morn.
To start up and speak out, my love to adorn.
