  • Truthfully, I want to make love to you.And if you knew me, you’d want to makelove to me too. Always the possibility of tender skin, tangled hands and fleshunbounded. The unfamiliar is intriguing.

  • i swallow whiskey the wayi swallow everyone around me- wholeheartedly, desperately. the same way i take you in, giving you control – allowing consumption over my inhibition.  after all, that’s what i do bestanyway – lose control.
