Baby with your skin so soft, grainy memories trace you from point to point. you must think me naive falling into familiar holes I’ve got no vines to help out movie-style - I’ve leapt into your quicksand love.
Her kiss left me breathless Wanting more I come back, again and again She, like an insatiable whore Deepening herself further and further Ingraining her fluid in my being. Her kiss made the stars brighten - a cliché, but true. That night I became a poet again - Only our lips touched But our minds fucked And our senses flowed. ...

Like ethanol running in bloodstreams Like nicotine fucking up perceptions, Too many cupcakes In the cupcake shop. Pretty to look at, but I’d like to lick the icing please.
