What a Tongue Is Truly For

She stares with anticipation
As it seems to roll about
Side to side, in and out

          Oh, the things she imagines
          As my lips tighten then curve
          She wants what she deserves

So I give in to her entirely, I do
As, to her, I begin to recite
Her flames, they then ignite

          She loves each and every spoken word
          Of my poems, sometimes sung
          She… simply loves my tongue

This is a sweet write and I am sure she really loves all things about you. She is lucky to have a man that can put things into words so wonderfully for her. Have a beautiful day! Smiles from Lolita
