Can'T Escape the Heat (Adult)
Nighttime descends slowly this hot summer eve
As the sweat pours from my body, without effort
Humidity caught us all off guard, wetting us down
With perspiration, a look that many find attractive
I always thought the opposite, but my lover, she
Loves the idea of even making more sweat
As the night heat burns on into the morning
She welcomes the moisture of my skin with her lips
My hands wander the wet curves of her body
As we both explode the thermometer in the room
With the heat we further exude and increase
We become part of the night
The sheets do nothing to free us of moisture
As the fan in the window serves no purpose
To release the increased perspiration she
Took my hand, guided me, shower running
Further explosion of temperature
Though water cooling and flowing
We, again, become part of the night
