Words of Love...Tasted

These words are sweet...
Honeycomb taste.
Dripping from chins...
Nothing to waste.
Nouns of endearment...
Verbs hot to handle.
Truth spoken here...
Love's such a gamble.
Words like molasses...
Thick on the lips.
Caressing the pallet...
Hands searching hips.
Functioning passions...
Promises kept.
Shadows on eyelids...
Emotions with depth.
Kisses uniting...
Fingers entwined.
Hearts that are smiling...
Love on their minds.
Spirits are merging...
Dancing on walls.
Deep in the night...
Ecstasy calls.
