Me

As my mouth drew close to her ear
To say something
And drew as close as it could
To say but said not
Said nothing
My mouth crumpled up taking an ear shape
Assuming thousands of unique ear shapes in four seconds
It opened a bit, closed
Got moistened by my tongue
Got bitten by my upper teeth
And as the eyelids lick the eyes
I caught her ear with my lips
And slid down to her ear lobe
I was hanging by the lobe enclosed in my lips
And down as a drop fell my lips off her ear lobe

Her

He never asked
If I wanted or not
But I asked and he said
“Yeah, you do” and he did it
I’ll forget it never in my life
When he was coming inside me
I felt it was raining inside me
Cats and Dogs
His body was lying upon me all along
Roaring like a thunder
The rain stopped
The thunder died down
I came
