“And yet to wine, to opium even, I prefer the elixir of your lips on which love flaunts itself.” Charles Baudelaire
She loved bright colours
which were all of her moods,
and a sense of all the places
she’d like to be,
but after the party and
“would you like to come in?”,
after highs and highest,
and nights of a thousand kisses,
her lips mellowed to pastel.

He was a man who knew words, some modern quotables aren’t quite so engaging. Thank you for sharing that James.
