Words

by Amanda Blanchard
(North Carolina)

I want to fill your gracious mouth
with sin and naughty verse
until you're overcome with words –
most foul thoughts invade your innocence
rendering you a dirty creature
in reason and form –
to touch those lips makes me a blaze so hot
it blinds me to anything but your desires –
you speak the words so well
it's all I can do to melt before you
