Lips

I am fascinated by lips:

The way the top one meets the bottom

So gently

The curves and dip in the middle

Fitting together like pieces of a puzzle

So delicately

They just rest there

Never complaining

Lips fascinate me

The way two lovers exchange emotion

A mother presses her lips upon the forehead of a child checking for a fever

They turn blue when it is cold out

They crack and peel when left un cared for

Lips fascinate me

They can be so elegant, so soft, so smooth and still

--- but then, lips can do bad things too

Lips are the gateway of our voices

Allowing us to spit out words and phrases

For verbal abuse

For shouting out slurs and hurting those around us

But everyone has lips

Everyone chooses to use their lips

I am fascinated by lips and lips should fascinate you too

I just hope you choose to use them wisely
