Notes About The Poem


 

Beyond Her Lips

Through these lips
sorrows pass
bound to slip
seldom last.

Behind smiles 
secrets said
all the while
kept in red.

Whisper cries
from the heart
tender ties
love may start.

Lipstick likes
to make marks
takes all types
to send sparks.

Touch these lips
don't dare miss
passing ships
with a kiss.
