Whatever Name Falls From Your Lips Poem by Susan Lacovara

Whatever Name Falls From Your Lips

Rating: 5.0


Call me sweet pea
And I shall leave the lingering fragrance of me
Like honeysuckle hanging


Call me, luscious, merlot lips to kiss
When night, herself, grows tired
Of watching me fall for you

Call me angel, sunshine warm and wishful
Purring with catlike contentment
Your hands to stroke my hair

Call me lady, wickedly wonderful
Laced up in the corset of your caress
And I will confess
Whatever name falls from your lips
It is that, I long to hear...
Today, tonight, tomorrow,
Our time

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

The title of your love poem is so intriguing it pulled me in to read it. I knew it would be incorporated in the text of the poem and you placed it near the end in a most satisfying way. WHATEVER NAME FALLS FROM YOUR LIPS is a marvelous expression of trust, passion, certainty. It's no wonder you can conclude the poem with an assertion of OUR TIME! Your love poems celebrate a unique moment for two people, which is intimate, but also evoke feelings we can all identify with, which is universal. Both the intimate and the universal.
