Soft And Sensual Mouth

Angelina’s father Courteously approached me At the summer house And asked me to cease In my spirited efforts To pursue his daughter, The pride of his existence. “As a friend of your late father, ” He spoke to me, “And as a man who was kind to your mother When the distress of his death So devastated her, I ask you to choose any girl Scattered beneath the stars Than the one I carried Upon my shoulders At carnivals and fairs.” And it was understood, My family’s pedigree was insufficient For the family tree With lavish roots in Europe And places of power; We were the secret enforcers, The hidden persuaders With bloody hands. Her father informed me He was speaking from a place Of genuine humility, Seeking in a civilized manner His daughter’s best interests. I did not disagree Nor was I unsympathetic With his words; Every girl would be better If she was not with the man She impulsively and passionately Was drawn toward; But once you’ve kissed The soft and sensual mouth Of the most desirable female, It is impossible to turn away For her sake or for your own Despite the damnable stars of destiny Or the treacherous cards of fate!
