lips unkissed

lips unkissed

.

Black sands of time rain upon me
Entombing me in a powdered cloud
Each grain marks the sad moments
Where we’re denied our love avowed

Another hour that I didn’t hold you
Sixty minutes I wish to never repeat
For if I could I’d renounce paradise
Just so I could die at your pretty feet

Another day passes without your love
And here I am longing to belong to you
As my cold calendar continues taunting
Asking me the date I only wish I knew

There is no romance in lonely sunsets
Nor in thinking of the beloved you miss
As I watch the sun slowly descending
Your trembling lips remain unkissed

  1. Beautifully penned! You captured it all. Really loved the last stanza — “There is no romance in lonely sunsets
    Nor in thinking of the beloved you miss
    As I watch the sun slowly descending
    Your trembling lips remain unkissed
    Nice photo!!

    1. Very happy you liked it Chuck. Those are my Baby’s sexy lips. The last stanza is what says it all. Her lips remain unkissed. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. Appreciate it.

      1. Again…how can you not like what you write? This was beautiful and possibly one your best but you write so many gorgeous things. You don’t realise it and the effect your words have on people.

        I do like to VERY touch you…
        Does that make sense?

        Smiling again.. My hands do want to touch you so so much.
        Probably don’t approve this 🔥

  2. Maybe because I just read a book about a woman caught up in an arranged marriage that this makes me think of the lover she left behind for the man her parents chose for her. It is as if this poem is told from her true love’s perspective.
