Neither Nor Either
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Neither nor either or both,
Should be considered.
What is it that you mean?
With purpose to wish and want seen,
Accomplished.
What is it that you mean.
What is it that you dream to touch.
To hold onto and snuggle up most,
And close to know is yours.
Neither nor either or both,
Should you consider.
If the pleasure isn't there,
To attract one's smoldering heart,
Awaiting to be trapped.
And feeling safe being locked,
In the embrace of love making burning hot.
Neither nor either or both arms,
Can make kissed lips tremble.
Or drool.
From the exploring of adventurous tongues.
If the chemistry isn't there,
To leave a hickey on one's neck.
Or whatever is licked before sucked.
Nothing stiffened will show up,
But disappointment.
Staring at a door.
For the appropriate time to leave!
