Ones that have touched me
With a smile
Soft and warm
Lips that have spoken
Of concerns,
Straight talk heard
The shape of a cry
Salt river, running down
To each end of your kiss
Sternness crumpled up
In a wrinkle
Of anger held in
Laughter submerged,
Bursting out
Into raw eruption
Hiding a tongue
Who dares
To search for my inner secrets
Bitten in frustration
Then licked
Back to life, healed
Brushed by fingers
Insecure, then
Trust built of tender breath
Lips heated, a hotness
Quenchless allure
I have been opened
Hushed by the myriad
Articulate silence
Speaks outside the turn
Lips form our orbit
Impressed upon
Paper notes from distance
