To disturb, or not to disturb......

To disturb, or not to disturb......

A Poem by SleeplessVolcano

I kissed
the "Do not disturb" sign
right off your lips
I hope
that in between
those words
looking like knives
there are a few 
sweet ones
with my name
and your strawberry lip gloss
etched on them.

Thank you for your kind review.
Love this brightly imaginative & dynamic way of accosting someone. The "do not disturb" metaphor is woven in delightfully. I wish there were more old farts (my age) willing to rip off that sign (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Loved your opening and the lip gloss. It gave me a feeling of innocence lost.

This speaks to me of someone who accepts the faults of another for the good they receive from them, that is few and far between.
Words that look like daggers made me think of the saying "drawing daggers at someone", as in a contemtuous stare, but changing it to words adds venom. I like that.

This is really nice. Sometimes we want to be disturbed but put up the signs because we're afraid to admit it maybe. Sweet poem. The strawberry lip gloss makes me think of young love.
