Demure

Je mourrais pour embrasser tes lèvres

demure propriety awaiting
mists uncover morning crest
arched along crimson tides

glances reflectively linger
last chances filling coffers
only pearls dare still sing

gentle waves wash
upward turns to heaven

Je veux embrasser vos lèvres 
scorch your name 
upon my naked soul 

find me in fluid drips
of your attention
simply holding_
holding on

How did I miss this, as you know I like the mixing of languages, especially when it makes the poem flow so well, a fav for me!

A kiss given that romantically would be worth dying for. Beautifully expressed, Tim.
