Notes About The Poem

- Scarlet Lips -

Sky breathes red sunset

                                      touches the heart in secret

                                           Your rich scarlet lips

                                         in a state of perfection

                                         on edge of the horizon

There is something classically eternal about wearing red lipstick, I think Marilyn Monroe re-invented it, but it has always been the corner stone of femme fatal. Nice one, and photo is lovely too. Have a great day dear friend, stay well.
