1 : either of the two fleshy folds which surround the mouth and organs of speech essential to certain articulations; also

The lips have been an inspiration for poetry and is repeated throughout plays, movies and songs. We are mesmerized by their scarlet hue and caressed by their silky softness. The eyes may be the windows to the soul but the lips are definitely the gateway to sensuality.

"My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Oftentimes, people are focused upon the lips of the speaker, fascinated by their infinite movements. Reminding you of a vocal dance, if you will. The lips are sensuous, they are sexy, they are powerful, and we want them larger.
