Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Royal Purple Purse

More than the lips that meet-
Deliberately smooth…
Deliciously soothing…
Sensually sliding…
Heaven sent,
As a royal-purple purse,
Its treasures freeze frame-
All troubles paid off,
And we learn and we learn
The lessons of love
Over decades of marital bliss,
Obtained not through perfection
But in the bruising of roses,
Petals that color our lips
That lovely shade
Of me and you,
Forever-after, true…
For-ev-er-y day
is Valentine’s Day, Darling!
