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!

Whew! This one heats me up, Kim. Is there a fire extinguisher in the house?! Seriously, a wonderful paean to true love and loving. Artfully done! HVD! Hearts and Flowers, Gershon (O.K. a little chocolate too).
