Smiles to Kisses

Smiles turn to words
Words turn to whispers
And whispers into kisses

The silent and simple call I headed
From the quiet and beautiful child
For words and phrases were not needed
She outspoke Shakespeare with her smile

When at last our tongues were undone
Forth words worthy of these pages did spill
Sweet stanzas one by one
Softly spoken then more quietly still

A tasteful melody we whispered amid the starlight
The whole earth in full eclipse
The Moon and Venus keep close company tonight
So do likewise our lips.

Thus the way love goeth in its blisses
Smiles turn to words
Words turn to whispers
And whispers into kisses
