You feel on your lips a kiss
Fluttering, a tiny scrap of life ...

ARTHUR RIMBAUD

"Romance", Collected Poems


Her lips are like two budded roses,
Whom ranks of lilies neighbor nigh,
Within which bounds she balm encloses,
Apt to entice a deity.

THOMAS LODGE

Rosalynde; or, Euphues Golden Legacy


Shall this nectar
Run useless, then, to waste? or ... these lips,
That open like the morn, breathing perfumes,
On such as dare approach them, be untouch'd?
They must--nay, 'tis in vain to make resistance--
Be often kissed and tasted.

PHILIP MASSINGER

The Parliament of Love


Lips, like hanging fruit, whose hue
Is ruby 'neath a bloom of blue.

THOMAS GORDON HAKE

"The Exile", Poems


But when lips' speech mute lips have ratified,
And our hearts' music is intensely blent,
I'll lay me on thy lap, and cry--Content!

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Lips with such sweetness in their honeyed deeps
As fills the rose in which a fairy sleeps.

Her eager sense delighted, fondly sips
Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,
Who while his love-tale telling, roses speaks.

Did waxe both wan and pale.

And all my kisses on thy balmy lips as sweet,
As are the breezes breath'd amidst the groves
Of ripening spices on the height of day:
As vigorous too.

That sunny walls from Boreas screen.
They tempt the taste and charm the sight.

"On Cessnock's Banks"

Tags: Robert Burns


O naked flower
of my lips, you lie! I await a thing unknown
or perhaps, unaware of the mystery and your cries
you give, O lips, the supreme tortured moans
of a childhood groping among its reveries
to sort out finally its cold precious stones.

STÉPHANE MALLARMÉ

"Hérodiade", Selected Poems


If I could choose my paradise,
And please myself with choice of bliss,
Then I would have your soft blue eyes
And rosy little mouth to kiss;
Your lips, as smooth and tender, child,
As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.

THOMAS ASHE

"No and Yes", Songs Now and Then


Her lips were like large crimson polyps.
