here's a poem i wrote:

what do lips do? lips speak

words to caress, to torment

to entertain, or to educate

those we meet

what else can lips do? lips

kiss other lips

cheeks, eyelids, cuts or bruises

on hands, knees and elbows

in an effort to ease the pain and share the joy

lips open up, with

function following form - they open

letting in or out

all the things we say and do

passing by soft red rivers around

a gaping hole infested by

a serpent, the tongue

what does a tongue do?

a tongue cannot form words

a tongue cannot kiss

a tongue cannot express

all a tongue does is

wiggle, lick, taste, grab, and fiddle

because a tongue is selfish

touching for pleasure

tasting for satisfaction

caressing for reward

the tongue is greedy

my lips long to kiss, and

say words which mean so much but

my tongue stoppers my breath

stalling me, because all it wants

is to lock with yours; that's why

a tongue is selfish

a meaningless piece of flesh

a slug or worm in my mouth 

this is why i like lips

because you see my dear

my lips are better than this  -->  

thank-you
