Recite Me A Poem In An Unknown Language

I love; I really love your voice and your diction Recite me a poem in an unknown language I don't give a darn about the pronunciation Undress the words; I love them when they're naked. Take your time; be loud, louder, harder, and then softer Do not stop when you arrive at the top of the valleys Increase the volume, drive me crazy and make gestures I love the tone but I don't understand the vernacular. Recite the poem in a language that I do not know Bring controversial words into my brain, in my core Force me to inhale the rhythm to the point of dying I'm inebriated. The sly lyrics are tattooed on my skin. It's okay to charm me, and to caress me with the words Again and again. Read proficiently like a veteran actress I'm heading to bed right now, to lay on my back unstressed So I can dream like a genius in agony on the old docks.
