Analysis of Lingering Kiss



Don't talk to me about half measures
pleasures denied
urges deferred
When soft thighs assemble with
Crimson joy in a ploy to make
the body drop
lips that move but can't be heard
Where pain subsides and treasure resides
legs tremble
pulses quicken

that sloppy thickening
shiny mess that makes the body confess
Merciless kisses brims on ecstasy
When  bodies merge on convulsion  
where a grateful tongue abides
