Love's Kiss

To feel love's tender touch with gracious hand
When hearts render treasure to paradise
Desires allowed to express understand
To let passion confess without device
To know brush of fingers to be sublime
As eyes slowly crush quiet in their pause
When hearts quiver on borrowed time
They'll deliver to love its purest cause
To seek lover's lips with its soft caress
Equips a mouth with need and silence held
A message burning in hearts  both confess
Stirs heart beats yearning,  lover's lips will meld

  This quiet pause love alone can render
  As it comes to cause complete surrender
