The Secret of Soft Lips
just me wondering what constitutes the softness of one’s lips. What makes another’s lips not as soft? It’s more than the texture, i think, but an essence perhaps. After the recurring line from different men about the softness of my lips; my kiss, it got me to pondering the question…why?
The Secret of Soft Lips belongs to the following groups:
! Creative Writing & Poetry !, ! ♥♥♥Love Is (Join us!)♥♥♥ !, "Poetry and Beautiful Women" , All Out Emotion, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Creative, Talented, and Unknown, Everyday Life, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop, The Art of Pain, The beauty of poetry, Up & Coming Writers, Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom! and WMGI have been told,
“…you have the softest lips
I have ever kissed…”
by every man I’ve ever kissed.
So I have to wonder why this is…
Perhaps it all boils down
to how many times
I’ve been bruised?
How many times
I’ve tried to speak
the shape of my tears,
but every-time I tried to spill
out my pain
through the closed of my mouth,
I’ve stopped.
And picked up a pen;
bleeding my vessel to page
instead.
I can only assume,
that my every, unspoken tear
has become locked
behind the pink skin
of my lips –
sealing my softness
within,
creating my own,
healing
balm.

perhaps a combination of experience, passion, the liberal use of lip balm MAY also be a contributing factor altho my guess is it plays a small part really… its the essence and spiritual state of that person… ya…
Kristin Reynolds replied
hahaha! Generous use of lipbalm..yes, i should have added that in, really, that might have done the trick, right? lol thanks, G, i agree with you totally. :) love, K
