Lingers Long

Posted on June 5, 2011 | 19 Comments

Lasting love always lingers long

Longer than any love song

Greater than a sum of money

Slow as crystallizing honey

 

Flowing down a wooden honey stick

A temptation just for one lick

On the rim of the honey pot

Always lingers on the sweet spot

    You know, Michael, I think the perspective from our side of 50 shows the real meaning of love. And you got it in this poem.
