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.
