To my taste

You left your lipstick on me
like a jammy doughnut kiss

today I circled my tongue twice more
hoping I would taste your lip-stickiness

but only bitter flavour remained
the dry blood of your love-bites
softly savoured through the pain.

Minimally bittersweet.

Enjoyed.

Mmmm... very sensual; I was circling my tongue as I read! I love the last line.

The last two lines, actually - love bites says it all, when you think about it!

Great balance, the sweet and sour of the two rouges. Like it!
