Lips

A Red Rose her mouth
An upturned curve a pout
Two waves that rise
The shape of her lips
She holds loves confluence
At the very tips
Beautiful thoughts
That burn below
Releasing a kiss
Nice and slow
Layers of nectar
On two petals
A scented taste
Which unsettles.

i really liked this little rhyming poem, economical with the language but clever, i like how you built a poem around that single image..i almost read a double meaning in some of the lines but maybe it's my naughty mind haha (i love double meanings in a poem) congrats on your win in my contest! :)
