Vermillion




I pay particular attention
to your ‘lip shape’ chiselled shape
I noticed
this morning over coffee
you paint them red
Miss vermilion
your
intranasal depression,
perfectly suits.
The extended cuticle,
Cutes, are matching,
Flushed in suits.
A winning hand
Wrapped
On porcelains coffee black.

Wow Peter, I know you have a thing for red lips.Im left feeling sorry for this girl, not sure why. You know , you can go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion
and at the bottom you can see all the shades of red. Some are natural looking, others seem to me, very fake, in real life almost no female has red lips, not true red any way. its such a cold color to me, a raisin seems more natural. great write.

Robbie, thanks.
The poem is about someone I Know but also about an imaginary person. They present themselves perfect, but at the same time i read the flaws, in the end, the flaws never mattered in the greater schem of things.

its all about looking at a friends hands as they drink coffee

I hope this does not spoil any imagery for you!
