LIPSTICK (A TALE OF SAPPHIC LOVE)

Copyright © by CUNNING LINGUIST, October 17, 2006

WE ONLY JUST MET
BUT
WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE

YOU CALL MY NAME
FOLLOWED BY "I LOVE YOU"

I CANNOT SPEAK
I CANNOT FORM THE WORDS
TO EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR YOU

THE FLICK, FLICK, FLICKER
OF THE CANDLES
TRANSFORMS
INTO TINY JEWELS
THAT DANCE ACROSS
YOUR NAKEDNESS

THE LAP,LAP,LAP
OF A NEARBY STREAM
MUFFLES YOUR SOFT SIGHS

SWEAT FALLS
FROM MY FOREHEAD
ONTO MAKEUP
I'VE ALREADY SMEARED ON YOUR THIGHS

I HOLD YOU
AS YOU START TO BUCK
YOUR NECK STRAINING
FLUSHING
FROM THE BOTTOM UP

YOUR BACK ARCHES
AS YOU PULL MY HAIR
"PLEASE PULL HARDER"

TEETH BITING LIPS
BELLY GLISTENING
EYES ROLLING WHITE
AS ALL THE COLORS IMAGINABLE
EXPLODE IN YOUR HEAD

KNUCKLES CLENCHING SHEETS
CRY OUT FOR BLOOD
AS YOU CRY OUT
FOR GOD

THAT WAS ONE

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR
HOW MANY MORE
HOW LONG WILL WE LAST

CUNNING
LINGUISTS
AS WE SPEAK
OUR OWN LANGUAGE
OF LOVE
