Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Love or Lust

Content Rating: 18+

At first, I thought it was all just a fling
But my stomach grows butterflies inside
My heart beats like cymbals, I can not hide
It merrily dances, joyfully sings.
Pouncing terrifically with much zing
The feel of breeze - glissading on a slide
Feel of zest on a roller coaster ride
As you sway gently while I ride the swing.

A feeling every time I see your face
I'm yearning to touch and kiss on your lips
Your manly beauty comes with so much grace
You've gotten David's proportionate hip
Your bounty chest and your masculine waist
Love or lust, but I dream to see you strip.
