Before The Wombs
Appeal to my intellectual happiness.
Pleasure me with lies of mindfulness.
Reveal nudity voluntarily to my senses with lying joy.
Make wealth your toy.
Through my smart brain get power.
Until my dying hour.
Lay with me using physical deception.
Lie your passion.
Drink spirits to lie great
For my death is coming; the grave can’t wait.
Have an abundant exchange with my mind, body, and soul.
Alone with me, lose control.
Reach climax with my tongue, relaxing your vessel of birth.
Give yourself - mind and body until I’m dead under the earth.
