They shine with fresh chemicals, sending signals across the bar room,
Midnight red and full of promise, they proclaim you.
Softly their corners twist upward in a smile,
They tell me I'm welcome, and I wonder how far my welcome extends.
Red wine does not change them but the smile remains,
Oh, how I want to kiss them to feel their softness, to taste the lipstick lighting your gates.
You lean forward and contact is made.
