Invitation

At last freed from your
  siren call, from the
tender recesses of your flesh
  I thought to find your soul...  

O, bitter irony
  How you mocked me
leeringly, darting 
  tongue curling lasciviously
round the corners of
  your moist red lips...

I love this Gershon! Women seem to have such power over men and there in lies their strength. xxoo

I went deep; Mrs. Obama went to sleep. (Take-off on her 'He goes low; we go high). Thank you for your kind assessment of this one, CayCay. Peace, Gershon
