SHE HAD A SHY TONGUE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She had a shy tongue

before she met him

she was young, but not a child

unaware of lust and loving

back before becoming

wild, and free

 

She learned her

lessons skillfully

she learned them

all by heart

and it didn’t

take her long

to become

a master of the art

 

 

She learned about geography

and the subtleties of touch

so it isn’t any wonder

she’s always loved so much

 

I cherish the day I met her

and I’m better off today

she taught me all the lessons

she’d learned along the way

 

I had a shy tongue

before I met her

I was young, but not a child

unaware of lust and loving

and passions running wild

 

I had a shy tongue

once upon a time
