your mouth

listen to me,
I think only of your mouth,
Your mouth that cries,
Your mouth that laughs at everything,
I think only of your mouth,
Your mouth that dreams,
Your mouth that speaks,
Who speaks of everything,
Who speaks of everything,
Flowers of banana trees
Caribbean pudding
listen to me,
I think only of your mouth,
Your mouth that knows,
Who knows me,
Who reads between the lines of the hand,
I think only of her,
Your mouth that thinks,
your mouth of a child
Who knows all my desires,
listen to me,
I think only of your mouth,
your mouth that travels
And learn the essential:
The silence of words.

Mouth is perhaps the most important part of the human body. Through mouth, we eat and nourish the body and utter words of love or hate. But hardly any poet has written a poem on mouth. I appreciate you for highlighting the importance of mouth.

Sometimes words can be silent because the other person cuts the speaker off from the start. Thanks for sharing this creative one with us. Sara K
