"Kiss & Tell"

Folder: 
Tributes

by Jeph Johnson

 

A voice, euphonious, rides the breeze
Interpreting harmonious melodies
With moonlit magic and sorcery
She casts her spell so well
I just like to kiss and tell

 

Her scent, perfumed, fills evening air
And from her shawl a scarlet flare
Awakens the night and provokes stares
From stars her song compels
To finally kiss and tell

 

Her twilight echo beckons more
Than token applause while she performs
We stand and scream for more encores
From this bewitching philomel
Hoping to kiss and tell

Jeph, The epitomy of a love poem. Well penned. Seductive, enticing. Great romantic thought. Linda
