Secret of Lips-- Retourne

The moonbeam wears its glittered thread, while stars lift evening's fine sarong a trance ascends far overhead moist kisses fondling a raw song While stars lift evening's fine sarong in secrets flushed …dark turns to light when hungry lips meet to adorn a fragrant tryst of soul’s birthright A trance ascends far overhead to drape clandestine hours…winds tease, pouring a thirst on mouths that spread dusk to sun in heavenly bliss Moist kisses fondling a raw song As lovers moan in harmony To steal the gaps…now worlds belong In hush of oneness, as they flee. A Kiss is Just a Kiss Contest ~ secret love~ 7/24/2013
