treat the club like red carpet and a iron curtain
tell the truth through my teeth even when i ain't certain
blush on the cheeks of a lady friend
flirt indirectly with my 80's grin
complexion of aged top shelf cognac
XO status when i sit i lean back
foot game ostrich...shirt game silk
mouth game crucial 'cause now im at the tilt
she is aware that i be doing my thang
but she gased up like some dune methane
thong to the side...*** up face down
to reduce sound...cover face with goose down
sun is up now i'm gone like the wind
delete her contact 'cause it's a one night event
plus i feel guilty for the things i just did
...it ain't my fault i was cursed with a gift
mouthpiece that was designed to uplift
and not to be used to get dome and hit hips
but it's hard when the world is filled with honey dips
who gravitate to those who only give a sip
of a great body of knowledge that leaks through out they lips

Poem is replete with diverse and divergent mixed images: club like red carpet, 80's grin, dune methane etc which render it hard to crack. And this unspeakable ...*** up face down, does not help much.
However, in my opinion, it seems to be about some guilt and regret the speaker feels because of some dubious deeds and unpalatable utterances, hence the "one night event
plus i feel guilty for the things i just did." Strangely the speaker shifts the blame that "it ain't my fault i was cursed with a gift mouthpiece." There's a sense that whatever the mouthpiece, it was a gift from without not designed "to uplift
and not to be used to get dome and hit hips"! But the speaker could not resist the temptation because "it's hard when the world is filled with honey dips"!! Quite loaded imagery, I guess! The speaker blames the world for these tempting beings " who "gravitate to those" who like the persona only "give a sip" of what, Ooh Lord Jesus!. . . . "of a great body of knowledge." And this is why I think the speaker uttered something regrettable, ominously offensive words blamed on the mouthpiece. For the body of knowledge "leaks through out they lips"!! "Leak" suggests something slimy, secrecy. Whether the deed was immoral, immature or unrefined, it was something quite memorable!

Good luck
