By whatever rites you call me, Slippery, sliding Snakeskin shedding Apple-bearing I will know the test Is mine to fail Because to fail Is to know And I want to know you In every place, Space, way Day I want to lay And feel the rosepetals Kiss along my flesh Velvet wrapped Muscle Designed With this in mind Lover's tongue And kisser's mouth The tale we tell Grows more Lush with each Telling, With each sunset Held dripping Its golden kisses Across my bare Breasts And feeds me Like honey, From your lips To my neck And the blood Simmers With the Cream of desire Rising to Infect my brain Love, My love, Infect me with your words And I shall Slave with my pen to return The favor.
