Lips

Twin sets of  crimson lips
Smooth as silk and satin
To the caress and kiss.

Their opening moistness,
It does well slake my thirst
And also inflames me
With a potent desire
To fill you with my being.

Before these twin shrines,
Silver and gleaming,
I kneel and adore
To immerse  myself
In their sweet ichor,
Washing  cares away
In their limpid pools
Where I long to stay.

Bright red and pink the hues
Of those inviting lips
Wherein myself I lose
To join with you as one,
Entwined to fully fuse
Heartbeats in unison.
