A cunning weapon, double-bladed:
Passion fierce, affections making
Lips lock and drink in, like wine,
Innocence. Still, it is
But a temptation.
Sweet and luscious
On the lips:
Sugar
Kiss.
Kiss
Sugar
On the lips,
Sweet and luscious…
But a temptation.
Innocence still, it is.
Lips lock and drink in, like wine:
Passion fierce, affections making
A cunning weapon, double-bladed.
