Today
I do not need
paper and ink,
I will not
write you a poem
words warm of sun
and soft of silk.
Today poetry will melt
on your passionate lips
and will soak
down your throat
like the white lilac petals
inside of the sweet
red wine.
Today
I will simply
love you.

Just lovely!! This is so fitting for the poem prompt and the story behind it. You have captured the feeling of love being lived, not just written about. Beautiful!

Beautiful
I love this poem, Sonja.... who need poetry when you have "poetry-in-motion"...making your own poetry
. But you write it so lovely too...you can have both types of poetry every hour or the day (and night)!
