Acquaintance


Dry lips meet lipstick, take
taste first, fruit perhaps, or
subtle perfume as mouth
acquaints mouth, all the senses
bemusled, bumfuddled,
shaken awake by the
first tiny tip of tongue
teasing teeth to open,
wrestle a while, get to
know each other properly.

  1. Liked the poem except 'each other properly ' last line. Seems priggish? Hard to get away from stock phrases, you meant 'deeply' but that is so jejune?

  2. Oh I like this! Great images...and I don't mind "get to know each other properly" as commented on above.
