A description of the experience
Give me your tongue [Adapted from Paulus Silentiarius]
Take off your clothes my love
Let us get naked. I want to feel you now
Even your thin dress
Feels thick as the walls of Babylon
I want your lovely naked breast
Against my naked chest
Give me your lips
Let the only veil be silence
We are one
Give me your tongue
