Poem of the Day for 06/25/26 Oh Rose! by George Hoerner with your lips so tightly wound round yourself all night waiting for the sun’s light shafts to come silently brushing you open as i have oh so often dreamed to do watching for the first sign of moisture appearing between those softest of all lips the parting of which oh no, must wait and never come to these eyes of mine so blind they would become but once they touched my lips and dreams of young love produced what could only be expected and now as age slowly catches up with youth forever over throwing those young dreams that were only that the knowledge that these lips will never though they touch all other lips find lips as unselfish as yours and i loved all those other lips nearly as well but it be yours i have carried every where and shall till i lean through the window frame and fall into my grave 01/14/2013 Visit George Hoerner's Library Oh Rose!
