perfect mouth by Anonymous

the poetry that flows
when the corners rise
those lips of rose
and the glint in her eyes
i feel the joy when
the words come out
it really is a perfect mouth

settled at green water's edge
thoughts of her touch
are filling my head
there's a line out there
I  don’t know where
I need the map to find the route
it really is a perfect mouth

she nears my soul
on dancer’s feet
with flawless skin
her prose so sweet
the touch of those lips
but I’m filled with doubt
it really is a perfect mouth

I want her to mosey up from behind
lean in close, stop bidin’ her time
whisper to me, “what are you waiting for?”
punch my arm and give me that smirk
it’s the message i want and I’ll go to work
I’ll pull her close , she’ll leave me no doubt
it’s time to know that perfect mouth
