Your Lips Were Soft, Glistening And A Kind Of Red (Refrain Stanza) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

"I do love you intensely and intimate, " I said
your lips were soft, glistening and a kind of red
you turned and waited holding your mouth to be kissed
in that moment I sensed how much you I have missed
"this is a two-sided kind of thing, " you replied dropping your head
the moment lingered with you against me
I hoped that it could last for an eternity
wanted to take you straight to bed
you lips were soft, glistening and a kind of red.
