Glory Hole

Why won’t you cum in my mouth

Like you cum in my ass

Would the sensation be too much

For your delicate nerve endings

Like when your tongue

Touches the tip of my clitoris at climax

Shall we meet in a black hole

In the woods to start a fire

My clitoris comes alive once a day to smell your smoke

And touch your mirror

I come alive once a day to put on your pants and wear your jacket
