Darling, May I
Come now let us play the game
Of our childhood days of yore
When we would seek permission
To sing, somersault or more
Mother, may I?
Exchange "darling" for "mother"
Think me not a boy of four
A man who wants to love you
Who’ll unleash passion in store
Darling, may I?
May I play with your black hair
Run my fingers through each tress
Pull your body close to mine
To remove, gently, your dress
Darling, may I?
May I close my lips on yours
Draw from them what brings delight
May my lips move to your neck
For it is a tempting sight
Darling, may I?
May I touch you where I will?
All the places that allure
Wrap my arms around your waist
Sweetest torture to endure
Darling, may I?
May I ravish gently now
Touch and taste your pleasing form
Release my pent up passion
Take your body now by storm
Darling, may I?
Now that we have played our game
And we both need time to rest
Will you let me place my head
On the comfort of your breast
Darling, may I?
May I grant you all you want
Fulfill each and every need
May I be your everything
Sign my name on lover’s creed
Darling, oh, darling, may I?
