i bet your lips taste like summertime

your embrace feels like coming home

i sit up and imagine how your lips would feel on my clavicle, your teeth on my skin

it’s all i can do to not call you

not beg for the chance to be yours and yours alone

pent up, messed up, bent out of shape, convoluted, misintuited, just wishing for a chance

we both know this old dog won’t change, but the years have hammered me into the most obedient slave

a slave to my passions, a slave to excess, a slave to depression, a slave to dreams

ever wish for someone totally enamored with you

ever desire to inflict a little pain

care to make a deal

see i am more than willing, nothing else to do, what about fooling around, maybe fuck up and fall in love

just a little

no strings

whaddya say

make a mistake or twelve with a notorious mischief maker

start off small, shoplift a little, a quickie after to blow off a little steam

nothing too heavy

drive too fast, laugh too loud, whisper sweet nothings into each other’s ears, skinny dip in the that slow moving creek while the moon light shines on your sweet round…

sneak off to vegas and get married by young elvis, i’ll wear a rhinestone jumpsuit, you put your hair up into a beehive like a young priscilla

shack up in the penthouse sweet, have the neighbor’s call the front desk from all the screaming

i’ll answer the door wearing a sock when the room service comes, you can help me slip it on, sit up in bed with a sheet draped over and watch the show

you distract the dealer in the casino while i grab the chips, we’ll toss them off the balcony and laugh as we run from security

or not

i’ll just sit here and imagine

pretend we had a chance

who am i kidding

serviceable poet for sale or rent

big dreams, golden tongue, ever willing

you may not be able to teach this old dog new tricks but you might find yourself shocked at the ones he already knows

leave you panting, curl your toes and make you scream my name

in anger, in passion, in hate, and maybe, just maybe, accidentally in love

i’m here if you are interested

daydreaming about you

all of you

pretending you’re mine

your lips like summertime

your eyes on only me
