Significant Lips
Full, symmetrical, and as red
As the pumping heart below,
Like a warrior's strong bow
Ready to bleed all opposing
Points of view that dare argue.
When angry faith slumbers,
Moods of happiness come
Out to play, sweet love too,
But softly, in watchful silence.
The contrarian's sigh mourns
The impossibility of alliance.
