The sweet juices of your mouth
are like castles bathed in honey.
I’ve never had it done so gently before.
You have put a circle of castles
around my penis and you swirl them
like sunlight on the wings of birds.

    I really love this poem, I first heard in the movie “Some girl”. The way he describes his pleasures had me so aroused, as a woman and poet. Job well done..I wish their were more poems as erotic and tastefull as this one

    A huge serving of startling erotica! It’s too bad a good poet couldn’t cope with life, especially with such deep perceptions of reality. But, then, maybe one can be too perceptive.
