Please Make This Last

Please make this last forever, Dear,
and bid the moon not disappear.
For when it does, then like a brash,
will come the light of day to dash
this night as soft as warm cashmere. 

You say sweet words and are sincere,
but love can die and leave a gash,
and passion’s sure to turn to ash. . .
                                Please make this last.

I touch your face. . . you are so near
that as I whisper in your ear,
I see upon your cheek a lash.
Now make a wish, and in a flash
I’ll have it off!  Dear, ease my fear -
                                Please make this last!

Lovely Andrea. I don't believe true love dies, but I do believe we sometimes kill it.

This gal doesn't sound too sure of her man. Tell her she is terribly vulnerable. Good stuff, Andrea. Love, daver

I so enjoyed the thoughts in this poem. We usually sense when it's not going to last, which makes the fire burn much more intensely, pleasure and pain. I've gone 68 years w/o knowing the fallen lash wish. Can you believe it? Congratulations!
