Valiant Lips

My dear, I share with you a truth:
A life lesson I have lived.
Discretion is valor, a silent shield,
A strength that guards the heart revealed.

Be not the man who parrots all he hears,
Who, finding no one to tell,
Confides in the door.
He's a fool lost in words that wound and bore.

Let discretion be your strength—
Bridle your tongue

Close Shave

Before a misty morning mirror
above a half-filled basin
such cold water was I braving
simply to lave my face in
but the coldest cut of all
and it only hurts when I smile
I severely slit myself while
I was busy shaving
but did my frozen fingers fumble
or was it just a rusty razor
which sorely needs replacement
that figured in my defacement
as there

Lip Service


Words like gentle rain, 
But ground stays parched, no life springs, 
Empty sound remains.

Premium MemberFor talking too much in class, we've buttoned your lip

For talking too much in class, we've buttoned your lip.
If the teacher does ask you to talk, here is a little tip.
You unbutton your lip just like a button on your shirt.
The first few times, you may feel a little hurt.
So be gentle, so your lip ~ doesn't rip.

Premium MemberLip-O-Gram

In today’s crazy,
topsy-turvy world,
you do
what you gotta do,
pick up jobs as you can,
but I must say
it is a bit awkward
to do your job
taking ‘grams
door-to-door
only to find
that you must
land a kiss
on your boss’s lips…

an ‘e’ lipogram that will not be delivered to any contest doors… :-)

Needle and Lip

Take the needle
Take the thread

Keep slowly piercing my lips
Sticking the needle in and out 
Until my lips are sewn shut

Take away my ability to speak
I don't want it anymore

Watch the blood drop from my lips onto the shirt you said looked good on me
I can't control the blood
If you don't like the sight of it,

Lip Service

The sun blazed like a hearth
Upon the helpless earth
As I strutted from the stream,
My calabash filled to the brim.
I saw him lose his footing,
He fell and hurt his shin
But he fixed his gaze on me,
Cleared his throat and spoke to me:
“Please, a mouthful brother
To quench this raging thirst,
I am sorry this is a bother
But give

Premium MemberKeep a Stiff Upper Lip

Keep a stiff upper lip, it isn't that bad
Things will surely get better
Life is a series of these ups and downs
Surely isn't always fair weather

Unpredictable is a word that's often used
When referring to things in general 
For some strange reason as we all get older
Life gets somewhat less pleasurable

Can't do the things we once did

Kiddy Lip

Inherit a world we didn't create, 
discover the knowledge those before aint, 
teaching kids that what we had absent, 
they are the first to say don't wait, 
demanding adults change their ways, 
blame our generation, outspoken, complain,  
disrespecting your elders  through climate change, 
our generation who was not taught,
our generation who found and

Should She Speak

Her luscious lips tend several functions;
a tender paradise to lay yours on,
A salve to your heart's aches,
A wily weapon for taking her stand,
As well a purveyor of her mind's many wisdoms.

Grateful winds carry forth her words.
Bursting forth ever so caringly,
from pink, perfect lips.
As her sublime sound caresses the air,
Peaceful perfection grips the atmosphere.

Her words, her
