Linger

On the tip of your tongue the words linger

You feel the electricity run through the tips of your fingers

Never a moment so righteous and true

Something so perfect destroying you

No defense but stronger than ever

So happy that it makes you quiver

What does it take to buy into something real?

It’s time to repay the attention that you steal

It’s almost cheating when you flash that grin

It makes a heart want to feel sin

Eyes burning like the Arizona sun

Caught in their stare and you’re coming undone

A rose has never smelled so sweet

As you the day you took me off my feet

Never tasted anything as good as your lips

Mesmerized by the way you move your hips

Love the feel of your skin pressed up against mine

I could still love you even if I was blind

Ears rejoice with every tender word you speak

standing here kissing you my knees grow weak

What a great love poem. Makes one feel very good. This is a nice positive write.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
