Cherry Red Lips

Red,

pink,

a violet hue,

neutral

or glossy...

what shall I do?

 

So many colors

from which to choose;

So many kinds...

how can I lose?

 

He said he loves

the cherry red,

loves the kisses

I place on his head,

leaving behind

a lip print or two;

Tell me, tell me...

what shall I do?

 

I look in the mirror

and sexy I feel;

I believe that today,

red will clench the deal;

I move close to the mirror

and carefully apply,

smiling in approval

as I heave a sigh.

 

I know he is waiting

for these lips cherry red;

My heart is pounding,

remembering the things

he has said.

 

I know it seems silly,

this fuss I am making,

but for him

it is a claim i am staking;

If it is cherry lips he loves

then it is cherry lips he will get;

These cherry red lips

have not let me down yet.

Cheryl, this shows the love between two people and the gift of a simple application of lipstick.
