it carries the content of life
taste is only possible in the presence of water
taste love flowing through you
it carries you away with the tide
water is love, oh yes, water is love
listen to her song--
"i flow in you...
i glide and slither through your furry forests and sink down into your flesh
only to pool in secret subterranean pockets--
touching the core of your innermost desire
dark, hot, moisture seething up to surface in sacred springs of delight
i tickle the toes of nymphs and toads alike
let me bathe you in my warm wetness and bubble up against your skin
drink me into your soul and let me nourish your seeds
cry me a river of salty tears and let me gush from your well"
water is love, yes, water is love
she sings her sultry spells spattering
drops of dreamy drizzle dripping down my thighs
splashing sea foam sprays of salty succulent sauce
she drowns me in waves of emotion
water is love, oh yes, water is love
lapping at the mouth of rapid rivers
her salty tongue slides in and out with lunar pulses
she rocks and grinds, pounding her love into the beachhead--
and exhausts her raging tidal fits against my shore--
then withdraws--
waiting for the moon to rouse her again into a frothy peak
water is love, yes, water is love.
