With disheveled hair
that I could eat
framing her poignant features,
irregular smiles as reward
find my own lips
hungry for a taste.

I'm not really a poetry man, Freida, but I liked that. Nice write!
Regards, David.
Thank you, David. That's kind of you to say!
Oh girlfrand. This is very intriguing.
'eating hair'...Hmm, it must be serious.
;>)
Your stuff always has, whether overt or subtle, a swanky edge to it, but I'm not jealous, swear.
Lisa- meow
DarkOne- I just have a good imagination, ie. this was about a straight lady I know, so not serious. But, I did meet someone I find most fetching the very next day. If you build the poem, she will, er, come? Still, wishful.
Randal- You know it's hard to write erotica without having it sound like bad porn, and it's hard to write lovey poetry without sounding like a 16 year-old girl with big bubble handwriting, so thanks. Swanky is like my life's ambition, but oftentimes skanky has to suffice. ;)
