tonight
I would come
to see the beauty engraved
in your eyes
I would drown my tongue
into your saliva
quench my thirst
with the milk pouring out
from your teeth
soften my lips
with your sweet kisses
sketch my body
with the tender touches
running out of your hands
I would walk into the room
beneath your thighs
& paint its walls with colors
of pleasure
