Tongues

Hollow wells explore the pink of sweet landscapes
Turn and curl behind a smile
Mesmerizing sounds that glisten, guiding voices on to listen
Taste the gypsy wind in autumn rye
Each pearl, bathed dry as thought exceeded
Wet the lips preemptive heeded
Moistened soft and left behind
Or steal the breath left panting in the cool of night
Let to taste the shyness of the rain
Messenger and ventriloquist
Placing thoughts in moonlight rivulet
Allowed to make trails and whisper tales
Of all that simmers deep inside the soul
Tenderly, conveyer of wishes
Citrus, tart and flirt of nectar clear
Slip, the lie into dark caves
Or bring the heart into full view
Lest to wrestle the barter made blindly
Far best of all, paused in symphony
Flickering to sample loves bouquet
From silent silken seams just parted

The whole is beautiful in it's content but the below line is one to be remembered and treasured.
