Lingual Love Language

In the lover's tongue's
they call them romantic 
languages for their own sake

Escucho tu susurro amor
I hear your love whisper

Her Spanish tongue trills,
a lingual click on her
ivory teeth reminiscent of
glossy blanco castanets

Her billowing blouse, a hint 
of hiding romance underneath.
Colorful skirt flows, just - 
just like her sensuous legs below

Sento il tuo soffio d'amore
I hear your love murmur

Dark-haired Italian woman
arms raised to Tuscan air
fingers together in emphasis
tells of passionate effort

to make herself known to
her lover - il suo amante

Je sens votre amour dans mon coeur
I feel your love in my heart

Young blond from Avignon says
as she sits graciously 
at the small table
off the Rue Carnot
fingering her necklace
and looking at, you.
How could you not feel that
love is in the air?
Of course you do...
it's soon to be spring,
isn't it?

love grows - amor crece - amore cresce - amour grandit
