One Glimpse



One drop of honey leaves you wanting more.
Taste bud salivations become drops to pour.

One winning triumph leaves you wanting more.
Bronze, silver or gold medals reassure.

One loving lyric leaves you wanting more.
Strings of emotion are played for encore.

One hint of rumor leaves you wanting more.
Secret whispered gossip is town folklore.

One ocean sailing leaves you wanting more.
New harbors waiting; worries left at shore.

One touch of softness leaves you wanting more.
Feathered down sensations to explore.

One kiss of passion leaves you wanting more.
Lip print impressions lifts the heart to soar.

One word of kindness leaves you wanting more.
Consoling expressions the comforter.

One glimpse of heaven leaves you wanting more.
Eye-candy's attractive to spirit core.
