Analysis of Sin
Brenda De Jesus 1970 (Brooklyn)
How sinful is it to want to taste the beer off your lips
How sinful is it to imagine me biting your neck gently enough to feel the breath that I take as I inhale your scent
Or to want to climb on top of you like a horse in the merry go round!
How sinful is it to desire you and wanting you to take out on me all your most deepest passionate pleasures even if days go by and your not over!!
Then God forgive me for I have sinned, to the cardinal flesh of the one I love!
But I do not repent what I have desired
Instead I await that sinful day!
