Red

The color of desire.

I inch you closer to my lips;

Swirling,

Sniffing each time between sips.

The silky smooth redness you always seem to bear,

Stains my lips but it’s a shade I love to wear.

Too much of you can lull a man to sleep,

As you race through the veins to nurse the secrets that we keep.

As I breathe you in,

Oh how it feels like a sin.

Your scent faint but quite grasping,

As the cold glass brushes my chin.

As your taste hits my tongue,

Smooth like silk on skin,

I smile knowing this glass will soon grace my lips again.
