Our Sweetest Love

Your heart is an envelope of my desire A symbol of my love on fire; It captures the essence of my love Like tasting fine wine it ferments in time. Like fresh juicy grapes in a vineyard, Wrapped together as the vines cling to each other; The sweetness of your love awaits my touch, Such lasting pleasure, as I raised my chalice With a wonderful toast, "To our sweetest love!" © Joseph S.

Well oh well, Joseph, you must know how much you were sorely missed. You might choose any topic and it will touch off something in the minds and hearts of others. (Sometimes they will even awaken the taste buds :). This is gentle and sweet, a wonderfully beautiful tribute to your love. Hoping all is well with you and yours...wishing you all the best! God bless! Love to you....Mikki
