Sip the fruits

 

 

 

 

Sip the fruits

 

Drinking from the silver chalice

To your lips in grand design

Taste the life that waits to greet you

Sip the fruits of promised wine

 

Slowly feel the warmth so filling

Close your eyes in wondrous bliss

Sunny skies and apple blossoms

On your mouth the finest kiss

 

Smiles float on windswept sonnets

In the shade formed high above

Checkered red and cotton flowing

Melodies of written love

 

Calling forth on chambered sighs

To your skin a sweet caress

Visions of a rosebud rainbow

Butterflies and tenderness

 

Peppermints on stemmed affection

Open arms to show the way

Poems penned to tug your heart strings

Painted in a vast array

 

This and so much more I send you

Wrapped with ribbon, satin bow

Only searching for your smile

Hoping soon to see it show
