Strawberry Effects

You spoke words that served as magic
When they were spoken from your lips
The things they said, things they did
Brought subtle life back to my hips

Movement then was stirring
I was writhing, wishing for more
Speak those words again my love
Then we’ll see what lips are for

When I fed you those sweet strawberries
Who knew where that would lead?
Those words you said, the way you ate
I was brought down to my knees

If that is what you wanted
Then, darling, this is true
The things you want from me
Are the things I want from you
