Abundance
The gentleness of lips contemplating
A kiss, or speaking, calls up fullness through
The heart or thought. The lips give due weighting
To passion in the chest, in senses true
To honesty, or mysteries unknown
But felt. The softness of the mouth which wants
The uttering of truth will not disown
The harsh demands of love. The softness flaunts
Its velvet-like timidity but then
It pleads its point. The brown suffused with pink
(Inside the pout of flesh) in dark-skinned men
Becomes the opening, the manly chink
For necessary proclamations held
Back, sentiments or facts that can’t be quelled.
