You are known to raise blood pressure,
all my taste buds have puckered up;
A teaspoon’s like you’ve drank a cup,
I’m left buzzed on briny treasure;
Holding a sick sense of pleasure
just leaves me prone to overdose;
My off switch leaves me so morose,
I’m frozen by where hope is hung;
Heightened flavor sits on my tongue,
that taste as sweet as salt so close.
Never asking for a kiss
or to even hold hands
He drove her quite mad
this bespectacled man
Month after month passed
when wild with desire
She puckered her lips
to light the man’s fire
But wouldn’t you know it
she fell on her face
As he stepped aside
to avoid her disgrace
If some women can wait
why can’t a man ~
For true wedded bliss
has to last a lifespan
You puckered up
Right In My truck
Declared your trust
Undying love
You scared the pee
Straight out of me
I said my dear
It isn't clear
The things I feel
When you are near
I need a chance
To take a glance
At all we have
And if I'm glad
I'll take you home
You'll be my own
If I don't know
Then you should go
I'll write a song
When you are gone
Of growing old
And all alone
What's wrong with me
Why can't I see
This mystery
Of loving ye
Why am I bound
To this singles crown
I need a nudge
To take the plunge
Just give me space
Up in my place
And if your face
Becomes the case
That plagues my mind
And drives me wild
I won't Deny
The feelings inside
What's that you say?
I'll run away?
No fear outweighs!
Oh no oh nay
I'm not afraid
Bring on that day

i still taste the poison
lingered from your lips
bitterness of venomous lies
through death's astringent kiss

puckered
i like your shapely legs
your thighs are awesome
so muscular
your pek pek shorts hug you
as i want to do
me naked
my body reacting to you
i want to be there
between your thighs
to explore you baby
i love you and your legs

Three pills a day my doctor insists
To keep me smiling and puckered for a kiss
Strangers passing by
Cringe and wonder why
Most think I'm looney but I think it's bliss
