TASTE
(1989)

Your mouth is delicious
t has that satin inner skin
Found in two places only on woman
You smell of oranges
Your hair is positive
And my hands are drawn
Strong and gentled

Your mouth was not meant for kissing alone
Now prim, now pursed
Or tight (for better or worse
Always ready for an argument)
So when you wish to kiss
It’s all the greater worth

Your mouth is delicious
It tastes of buttered toast
You are too close to your mirror
You will never know what you are like
Until I tell you
Over and over again
