tender Pink lips gasp and scream
milking the warmth of home
and caressing chance’s cheek

curiously naïve
Rosy lips entwine with others
and kiss mystery’s hand
Rosy lips pose a question

Scarlet lips sip the Earth’s wine
and take a vow
voluptuously luscious
sensuously licentious
Scarlet lips suck on mystery’s neck
with a perpetual lust

pale and chapped
savoring the nectar of yore
and embracing fate’s forehead
Crimson lips allude
                      imply
and whisper of the world’s myths
while puckering a pose

Lavender lips have been kissed
and suppress the universe’s secrets
behind an everlasting seal
