He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin. ~ Book of Proverbs
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. ~ Book of Proverbs
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison. ~ Alice Cooper

Lips are a visible body part at the mouth of humans and many animals. Lips are soft, movable, and serve as the opening for food intake and in the articulation of sound and speech. Human lips are a tactile sensory organ, and can be erogenous when used in kissing and other acts of intimacy.

    Compared to that was next her chin,
    (Some bee had stung it newly).

    Hard was the heart that gave the blow,
    Soft were those lippes that bled.

    White-seeded is her crimson mouth.
