A poetic definition

Words to catch
           your attention
a delicacy
           on the tongue
to give no message
           other than pleasure
and like love
           a private delight
revealed in public
           Love
as we know
           is a law unto
itself
           Some things
are set in stone
           but no true lover
is tone deaf
           there are cues
to heed
           and gestures
to embrace
           and deft love
will preserve you
           in time of need
