I Kissed You with Sparrows

We are kissing each other on the lips
while hitting Love and wobbling around
only the walls are barricade to our lust.
Your mouth is beginning with a damp alphabet
a red butterfly settled on your face.

Look dear, sparrows are flapping in my rib cage
I kissed you with sparrows from the thin places of your dreams.

Your breasts are two bunches of daisy
suddenly blooming through the sky of my mouth.
Then your breasts are a pensive river
flowing into the sea of my mouth.
I draw the purple map of lust on your skin by my mouth.

Look dear, sparrows are flapping in my rib cage
I kissed you with sparrows from the thin places of your dreams.
