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? Eileen Manassian Ghali
