Lips

§

 

If I possessed all the riches of the earth

I would lay them at your feet,

just to see you smile.

When your lips part,

revealing your resplendent mirth,

all else fades into darkness

in comparison to your luminosity.

Like a ten thousand volt electromagnet

this iron body is dragged unresisting to you.

It is almost a sin,

no it is a sin to block that smile

with my own light consuming lips.

So I sin

again and again,

I cannot stop.

So total and absolute

is the power of your smile.

Your lips are the closest thing

to heaven

that this blackhearted sinner can ever hope to experience.

As our mouths connect

I can feel the bold white radiance fill my body.

It is impossible to believe

that life holds a purer pleasure than this.

If it does I don't need it.

All the riches of the earth cannot compare

to your lips.
