To feel love's tender touch with gracious hand When hearts render treasure to paradise Desires allowed to express understand To let passion confess without device To know brush of fingers to be sublime As eyes slowly crush quiet in their pause When hearts quiver on borrowed time They'll deliver to love its purest cause To seek lover's lips with its soft caress Equips a mouth with need and silence held A message burning in hearts both confess Stirs heart beats yearning, lover's lips will meld This quiet pause love alone can render As it comes to cause complete surrender 8/3/16 contest Your Best Rhyming Poem -2
