Chapped Lips

Included in "Teardrop of Coloured Soul" Publish America ISBN: HARDCOVER8327

I taste you still
on my lips
chapped from
your sudden
bite
Rubbing ointment
over the
wound
It helps somewhat
but somehow
your taste
is still
with me
I hold you
and yet
it is only
in
shade
Forsaken pleasure
in memory
Forgotten
seconds etched
like burning coals
over my
lips
Sometimes the
remembered
pain is
better to keep
then is the reality
of holding you

Lovely poem :0)

[Orlando Furioso]

lips n snogging is soooo funny when you think about it. we are such strange creatures. Of course the main purpose of lips is not kiss other lips but to form the words of poems as we breathe them into life. Now THAT is sexy.

I like how that little gem of an idea, chapped lips, the biting, fuels this total outpouring of emotion and longing. Well done.
