Come Ghazal
by Raina K. Puels
I know we should meet in public… but wanna come
over? See if we talk as well in the flesh? Yes,come (;
Foyer. Living room. Bathroom. Sorry it’s scum
my. Kitchen. Ignore the moldy cucum
ber. My bedroom’s down the hall… Welcome
to my sparkly, purple wonderland! Wanna come
sit on my bed? That’s my cat, Holcomb.
She scares easy. If you’re lucky, she’ll come
back. I know you’re a newcom
er to this & I don’t wanna make you uncom
fortable. So. What’re you into? I also love deep kisses & come
hither fingers. How’d you feel if we unencum
bered each other of our clothes? Mmm, yes. Come
straddle me. I never want you to feel a modicum
of shame, or like you have to circum
vent the truth if I’m not sufficiently succumb
ing to your desires; my pleasure is always incum
bent on yours. Aww, the cat did come
back! Do you wanna keep petting her or slide up & come
sit on my face?
Oh my goddess, your moans make me come
undone. I loved when you said: ‘Raina, no man has ever made me cum,
let alone cum & cum & cum.’
