From the moment I enter you waste no time
Making your way down my spine,

I take a deep breath and bare no resistance
I put on a girlish grin as you tap-tap drip-drip
Making your way across my body

I quickly shut the door
My eyes held tightly as I surrender myself to a place of no return
Lifting my arms high in the air I feel your touch,
You’re warm as your tongue lashes every piece of my soul

I can’t stop myself from wanting more, needing more
And then it happened—

“Aw hell… I done ran outta hot water ya’ll! I gotta git up outta this shower. We’ll have to pick this up tomorrow- You did know I was talkin ‘bout the shower right…? Ya’ll so n-a-s-t-y!

What a phenomenal experience I had with the students during my seminar at Evergreen Park Community High School. The teachers should stand proud because their hard work certainly comes through in the students. The students should continue to stand proud because of the positive image they reflect within themselves, each and every one of them. Their respect for literature simply knocked me off my feet! I say to them and other students alike continue to greatness, and no matter what you may be going through now in your lives good or bad let NOTHING stand in your way Ever… no matter who or what it may be, always remember you have yourself to answer to in the end. Make the right decisions and follow your dreams. Trust me they do come true!

I thank you for the experience and Tony and I will cherish our gathering for a lifetime!
