If I could take time and edit it <br />I would loop those hours with you <br />endlessly. <br /> <br />If it were in my hands like carnival candy <br />I would savor the sweetness which reminds me of you. <br />You too melt on my tongue <br />. <br />I'd put your smile on pause <br />better to see each expression phase <br />each eye twinkling <br />better to see that glow your face knows <br />when happiness rushes in. <br /> <br />Give me the sound effects <br />of beating hearts; <br />of rushing air; <br />of lungs filling; <br />of toes crossed; <br />in the afterglow; <br />of body spoons; <br />and deep signs <br />of whispered tones; <br />finger tip blushes <br />on smooth skin. <br /> <br />I'd take my time rush <br />wrapping it around my body and yours at night <br />when we sleep <br />to cherish <br />in our timeless dreams.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/give-me-the-time/
