LOVE'S BEST KISS ...

To frowns of sadness bring joy's best smile;
With teeth gleaming so, to cast a shadow.
Look away from its brilliance at first glance;
Slow to grow accustom to its glossy glow.
Then bask in its gift of spirit's lifting;
A sun shower of smiles to glisten upon anytime.

To eyes of forlorn bring comfort's best huddle;
With arms stretching so, to be Earth's quilt.
Shy away from its warmth at first touch;
To burn in its fires of settled strife.
Then wrap up in its gift of calming embers;
An oven of huddles to rest upon anytime.

To hearts of forgotten bring love's best kiss;
With blood beating so, to burst dam's hold.
Fend away from its rapture at first embrace;
To be swept up in love's hypnotic trance.
Then bathe in its gift of healing powers;
An ocean of kisses to savor upon anytime.

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

IsGona,

You've said the definitive word ... "Learn" ... (IMHO) Vocabulary is more than using big words ... It's using the right combination of words to convey a fluid thought ... More than the use of a dictionary or thesaurus ... It's the understanding of the many meanings a single word can give ... Thanks so much for your comments ...
