My most erotic moment was under the stars
Human beings are so simple. Put me in an open field under the stars and I will understand the eroticism of existence like I’ve never before seen the night sky.

Walking On A Full Moon
Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Does it dislike our tune. Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Its ears expand, booms! Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Does it chase gloom. Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. It, soon. Walkings on the moon Hoppity, hoppity, hoppity-hop... and Steps, steps, steps. Does it sorrow 'cause full, Like Earth. Sorry soon. Thank you for reading! Which part of the poem resonates with you? Share your thoughts. Please leave a comment. Copyright 2025 K.A. Smith
