Lingering Kiss
Fox Warren 1984 (Dublin)
Don't talk to me about half measures
pleasures denied
urges deferred
When soft thighs assemble with
Crimson joy in a ploy to make
the body drop
lips that move but can't be heard
Where pain subsides and treasure resides
legs tremble
pulses quicken
that sloppy thickening
shiny mess that makes the body confess
Merciless kisses brims on ecstasy
When bodies merge on convulsion
where a grateful tongue abides
