"What lips my lips have kissed"
What sighs my heart has known
When summer was once nigh
those lips were ripe and mine
Love converged my soul, my heart
I remember your kisses warm and tender
Now a kiss is a memory long gone
Oh but of his bliss I have known
being and form I have been
my Ecstasy his hand and his touch
Thus all, all treasured by me
Come lover and lie close
to my willing body
For"what lips my lips have kissed"
come lover to my soul
And we shall shun the starlit Sky's

Alluring, sensual, romantic, poignant and yes I do hear Millay in this in a line or two. Nice.
Noelle
this is super cool!
Yes. . . as Noelle says, very sensual. Question: was know supposed to be known in the first or second stanza? (Thanks for leaving me a comment, btw)
You used the springboard in fantastic fashion to leap into a world of beauty. Wonderful, Melanie!
That opening stanza really sets the scene; beautiful!
