Upon my mouth
Plant your breath
Lips of life
Forestalling death
And in time
With lips as one
In sight of none
There is nothing left

Upon my mouth
In darkness sent
Wreathed in love
A voice to vent
And in time
What words will come
Whispers soft one by one
Until fallen spent

Upon my mouth
Etched there a smile
Granted by lips
Made ever worthwhile
And in time
When all is done
Look for the one
Whose mouth is reconciled

Upon my mouth
Your heart will be
Named a name unspoken
As it silences me
And in time
When love has won
Far from the sun
Your lips, my mouth, prophecy!

"upon my mouth"...a hush does fall, as I marvel here, and stand in awe!  (Just my 2 cents there)    This is tastefully and exquisitely done sir!  Left me breathless....aahh!

oh lord...you dont play fair (smile)
*breathing deep...trying to be good*  
you know the title alone brought me here *S*
and you know this one is printing as I sigh...I mean type...LOL

man, this is so beautiful jer...perfect, so very.

"out of the mouths of babes"
stalking your mouth..*S*
your jm

 Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there.
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind...
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind...
The wind and your love to carry me.
