Attention

come, quiet my body
it speaks in loud tones
calls upon you
sings and shouts for your

attention

thighs clash to be seen
arms string, strung
riff by air penetrating riff

come, quiet my body
with a lullaby from your
body, whisper me hush
give  me soft, pleasing

attention

I can't be positive, but I don't think you are speaking the language of guitar ! But I love the metaphoric riff this plays with the mind ! :)
