Stay a While

You of carefree smile,
Tips of small white teeth
Dividing plump blush lips,
Pause here, stay a while
With me, sit beneath
This evening sky that grips
Our hearts as though
We'd been laid bare,
Exposed for heav'n to see.
Stay here. Do not go.
This moment ever rare,
Dreamily vivid to me.

Sounds inviting, some have no sense but there are other skies and other lips waiting. I enjoyed the thought in this Chuck! :)
