Teddy Bears Don'T Kiss

It wasn`t I who asked if you`d be my teddy.
It wasn`t you who wondered how soft my skin was. 
Will it wait until tomorrow, you ask,
but what about my will; it certainly cannot wait. 

Control,	
own it; don`t let it slip away,
only if you feel you must, and you have no other choice,
as though your lips would just slide right off your face.

It`s been a while,
since teddy`s loose threads were re-sewn,
let them go much longer, and they`ll start to fray.
Soft, curious teddy is sitting right next to you.

Around the shoulder it goes,
an unfamiliar arm, yet still soft like teddy.
Teddy`s lips don`t move like this though.
``mmmm``. 

Tongue, tease me please,
tangled in your juicy splendour,
taunt me, as you will,
because tonight, I`m all starry eyed.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
