But Let Us Speak---Of Love

but let us speak of.....love soft wrinkled hands still reaching for each other eyes that cannot contain a lingering lustful longing satiated by a presence a scent, a voice muffled b a teacup's echo let us speak...of love out loud voices counting coup on memory's quest eyes gazing into eyes calling forth a smile a sexy twinkle from a distant star let us speak....of love in silence shared thoughts and dreams hard days and happiness simmered over time seasoned with experience written on the faces of old lovers John G.
