Languages of Love

Tim Weaver

Free verse
Her burning lips
taste his thirsty dreams
like raindrops
resurrect roses
wilting
in the cactus sun.

Twin diamonds
mirroring memories
humming those sugar cube songs
left unsung

Sipping syllables
and swapping secrets
thru sacred psalms
spoken in smiles
building sanctuaries with
languages of love.

About this poem

I saw a photograph of a couple kissing underneath an umbrella on a misty day and this is what I was inspired to write.
