LIPS QUOTES III

quotations about lips

Lips quote

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

THOMAS GORDON HAKE

"The Exile", Poems


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

Her lips were like honey, too sweet to be borne.

J. TRACKSLER

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

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Romeo and Juliet


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!

THOMAS WADE

"Contentment", Mundi et Cordis


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.

Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,
Who while his love-tale telling, roses speaks.

My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.

Like the petals of the Rose
When the dews their scent disclose,
Soft as velvet tho' they be,
Fragrant of the Dawn and thee,
Yet thy lips are sweeter far
Than all garden Roses are.

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.
