only red lipstick



when the day's done
              unbox 
                      me,  
              sliding each 
                      teeth
out of margins, 
             i'm redolent
             under 
                      moonlight

 oyster sky is 
             your face
swooping down             

 swirling snowdrops 
             out of winter's depths

 i close my eyes
             as each 
                      hot-peppered kiss
             unzips me 
                      with fingertips
             soft as 
                      tulips

    I like the description of the "hot-peppered kiss
    unzips me".

    Oh my goodness Scarlet/Grace! This is a curvaceous Quadrille, no doubt about that! I love the rhyme in the final lines and 'hot-peppered kiss'!

    The hands soft as tulips is lovely, especially given the connotations of tulip :)

    I love this, Grace:

    "out of margins,
    i'm redolent
    under
    moonlight

    oyster sky is
    your face"

    I like the use of "tulip" as word play...or maybe I should say foreplay....oh my!

    As well as the lust(rous) imagery - 'redolent under moonlight' is great - the layout is great for an unzipped verse. Bravo.

    "i close my eyes
    as each
    hot-peppered kiss
    unzips me"

    Sultry lines, in the best sense of the word! Wonderous erotica in 44 words! Bravo!
