My Lips Are Sealed

My lips are sealed I will not say I long for you Till night meets day My lips are sealed No, not a breath Till I lie still In arms of death My lips are sealed I will not speak Of how you move And make me weak My lips are sealed There is no sound Of how myself To you I’ve bound My lips are sealed I’ll not confess How for your eyes I would undress My lips are sealed I will not praise I’ll lock inside This love sick craze My lips are sealed You will not hear How melting starts When you are near My lips are sealed For you don't dare To view this soul That I lay bare With tongue so wet My lips unseal Slide over them Their sweetness real Tis with your lips You unlock mine And get a taste Of what’s divine A lover’s kiss Holds firm the key Unlock my lips And savor me! Until that time Sweet dream of mine Until that time…. My lips are sealed. Eileen Manassian Ghali

And this is a perfect example of how silence can be so utterly powerful. That and a good pair of lips. lol Great job, Eileen!

HAHAHAHAHA! Oh Drake...I've always wanted bigger lips. Seriously...considering my dad and mom...I'm grateful for what I have. Dad has a line for lips...I tell you no lie! Hubby's lips? MASSIVE! :) Angelina Jolie....I hate you! ;) Then again...depends on what you do with what you've got! ;) Thanks for stopping by! :)

I had to reread this one, I thought your lover was Death. I'm glad I went back and got the real message, much more satisfying. Very sensual piece.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 7/9/2013 8:15:00 AM

No, Rick...that stanza was just saying how I'd take my secret to the grave if my lips were not magically unsealed with a kiss....Glad you got the message of the poem.

Now this is just not fair...Why you wanna get me all in a lather this early in the morn?... I absolutely forbid this kind of erotica in the future, young lady!...You are BLOOMING as a poet here my friend...This reads a little like Emily Dickenson...Very short, simple and elegant verses - Tim

Eileen Manassian
Date: 7/9/2013 6:51:00 AM

WOW!!!!! WOW WOW WOW WOW! I can't help it, Tim...the inspiration just came to me and I had to obey. :) Erotica? A little too strong a word, don't you think? ;) Let's settle for sensual...I'm comfy with that. Emily DIckenson...I'm Nobody...Yea, short and to the point alright. HUGS!
