SWALLOW
Kiss her lips electric
Speak in hidden tongues
Part her secret flesh
Enmesh
And sink
Deeper
Deeper than her skin
Into her succulent heart, tear
Upon her lovely mind, dine
On her sweet marrow, sip
Hear the thrum of music
Pounding on the other side
Of the cellar door opening
In the darkest corner inside her
Here her buck-naked soul
Dances in your blood
While she sings softly to you
As you prey on her
She prays for you
Fall
Further
To the very depths
Grip her by her eager hip
Bare your wicked teeth
Sink them into the tenderness
Pulsing in her throat, bared
And drink
Swallow
Deeper still
Forget
As the truth of her spills out
Jetting and hot and replete
Gulp her beauty down
More than your fill
Past your need
For the third deadly sin
Past the thrill
For her innocence, seek
For the sake of raw truth, speak
This is where she waits for you.
