Sweet rum and salty sweat,
Team up to make
A perfect kiss.
Liquor burns our throats
Kisses sustain us entirely.
Honesty grows
Boundaries dissolve
Mouths speak truths
That we’re usually too scared to speak.
Tempers flare
Truth so raw it hurts
Flows and flows
Like thick mango nectar.
And then we kiss.
Salty sweat and sweet rum,
A perfect kiss
That anchors us.
We’re not always so good at being open.
We’re scared shitless to be vulnerable.
Tonight, we drop our grand acts and sequined masks,
We bare it all.
And we kiss.
Salty sweat and sweet rum,
Tearing open starving hearts,
Sprinkling truth in our hungry souls.
Tonight, we bare it all,
The air is filled with freedom.
Kiss me,
With your salty, rum-stained lips.
