James Peranteau Poet Free verse

If Ever

.

    And if ever my lips are
               touched
        may it be of your 
           wetness only

          My torso held
       by your arms only

      My legs interlocked
        with yours firmly

       If ever the words
 I love you enter mine ears

                I pray 
from your throat they come
