Sometimes in life
you hear a phrase
that races in
your heart and mind
and knowing they
are not your words
you search for more
to replicate
the sentiment
that first you met
upon another’s lips.
.
No synonyms
nor opposites
no adjectives
no smells or sounds
no closing eyes
will conjure up
the aura sense
that fed your soul
as did those words
that first you met
upon another’s lips.
.
The beauty is
within yourself
rhyme and reason
trapped inside
will flow out from
your fingertips
if only you
observe and breathe
with open hearts
so someone else
will find delight
in words first met
upon another’s lips.

Absolutely wonderful poem, and so true. 🙂
May we continue to hear what our friends ‘lips’ bespeak through their poetry!
