LIPS DON’T LIE
written by: Dilip Mohapatra
@dilipmo
The voices may but lips don’t lie.
They may just be a peck on the cheeks
to spark that tingling sensation
or just to greet in affection.
They may be planted on the
foreheads cursorily
just as a starter or to pass on your blessings
and when they touch the hands
in reverence in adoration in awe
they speak the sweet language
of admiration and gratitude.
When they lock themselves
with another pair
in an osmotic ecstasy
they exude a carnal
and temporal burning desire
yet moist with part love part lust.
Deep devouring and invasive
never dishonest
they elevate you close to divinity
into a sublime trance and push you
across to a desperate needy edge.
