"In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art." -- Rumi

Busy Lips
Lips busy
kissing--
cannot tell lies
lips busy
kissing--
can't speak
angry words
Lips busy
kissing--
are a fountain
of sweetness
Drink
to your
thirsty hearts'
content,
busy lips!
