THIS YEAR TOO

Is it too much to ask for

A pair of lips

With a gentle face

To study in detail

To study from afar

I gently touch them and

Suck Them – on a Saturday night

They’re in my dreams

Not far away

I awake and

Long for those cherry lips

Is it too much to ask for

A pair for Christmas

This year also

This year too
