Lips

Honey lips
tips of kiss
tense and tease
twine into me

unwilling and hoping all the same
sameness and symmetry
purse and pucker at the thought
of touching your tenderest touch.

when the skin-thin pads of flesh
send shivers down my spine
and tell my brain
you're kissing me and changing
my eyes, my lips, the way i feel this world
then i see it for the first time...

twisting and pushing me
into another realm
covered by fear
locked away by bolts of rejection

welcome to a place in me no one has been yet.

tread carefully - it's unchartered grounds
and muddy water
and slippery slopes from lips unkissed

twine into me
tips of lips
honey kiss
