Inherited In Love
Passion filled envelope
passed from generations
stuffed with revelations
sealed with gar gum glue
Pockets emptied in it
trinkets, pendant copper
the shell encrusted stopper
to a flask of slow gin fizz
Secrets buried deeper
lipstick kissed and minted
songs of icy winter
echo crystal cracked
Gift to son or daughter
love alive from ancients
they'll pass it down if patient
and willing to fall in kind...
