PAD 2022 Day 10: Taste

 This poem is presented in its rough draft form for the PAD 2022 challenge and will be revised. 

PAD Prompt: Taste

Poetic Form: Waltmarie (Even lines are also a poem)

“Tonight”

Candlelight glimmers between our hands

Lips touch

Music moves between our muscles

Tasting

Desires rolling across bare shoulders

Curves like 

Tangled limbs that builds heat that lingers like

A flame

Shining across our bodies lost

In love

If I had the Words

If I had the words

    I would be able to tell you

    that the way you turn your head

        when you laugh

        is the definition of Joy

If I had the words

    I would be able to describe

    how the curve of your hip

        sharp against the night

        is the line of Desire

If I had the words

    I would be able to express

    how holding my hand

        to walk into a store

        is the moment of Love

If I had the words

    I would be able to write

    how your nicknames

        spoken by family

        is the song of Motherhood

If I was a better poet

    or skilled wordsmith

    or even half a Romeo

        I would have the words

        to move your spirit

But all I have are these words

I love you, always
