Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

When Your Lips Say You Love Me

Can a man get younger as he grows old?
  -- A home is duly acquired as a house is sold

Is a secret truly tarnished the first time it is told?
  -- Folks say unrefined oil is liquid gold

When your lips say you love me, are your hands always cold?
  -- My love is forever, yours to have and to hold

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 7, 2019 at 12:46 PM This is wonderful Gershon. Reminiscent for me of love lyrics from The Platters, Righteous Brothers, you know, like they don't write them anymore. Sweet ink my friend. xomo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 8, 2019 at 7:43 AM Btw, Platters, My Prayer, one of my ALL TIME favourites <3 Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 8, 2019 at 7:42 AM Guess I was born a fuddy-duddy ;) Gershon Wolf April 7, 2019 at 1:06 PM Thanks a million, Maureen. I was trying to achieve what you've described --- those old-fashioned kind of lyrics, which perhaps are never truly old-fashioned... Or if they are, at least they're not for old fuddy-duddies like me. :) gw
