this letting of words is my treatment...my salvation. it pulls all the toxins from my mind, body, and soul.

8 Last Call: Booty Call--Outgoing Message
Booty Call--Outgoing Message
I'm not a shot of espresso,
there when you need a pick me up;
I'm not a 24 hour convenience store,
open just to satisfy your midnight cravings.
I'm a desirable woman--
passionate...crazy...beautiful;
I'm a goddess meant to be savored day and night--
my own needs catered to with an intense fervor.
Take me as I am--all of me--
or accept nothing--not one thing.
I deserve far more than you've been willing to give.
So man up, if you dare. Leave your heart at the beep.
I have to say that these pom seeds have really been coming in handy as of late. They're like juicy little kernels of inspiration waiting to be consumed and savored. What I find interesting with this particular pom seed is that I'm not sure where my original thoughts were; I could extract any memory of what might have inspired this one, but still I think what it grew into works well. I did make a two slight tweaks to the original in order to accommodate the desired syllable count.
