Lips

by George Hoerner

all I know
Isn’t really much
I have few desires

I’ve been with
Enough women
Who’ve treated me well

There is still one
I’ve thought of
The most

I’ve never
Been with
Never spent
a night with

Only my lips
Still recall
Those late evenings

When lips knew
What they were
Made for

I think George, your poem illustrates you know more than most and the much of which you are fortunate to know, includes love, requited or not is still love exemplified.

A nice walk down memory lane to those last two great stanzas. The meeting of two sets of lips can be pure magic. Thanks for the reminder.

I know just such a magician, whose lips set me and my soul afire in the way back when. I have often wondered if, in further pursuit of more than a kiss, I dimmed the efflorescence which was that kiss and that lady. Your poems, George, always set me to wondering.

Well put George. Think we all have a lady like that.

Congrats on POTD, George.
