Poetry / Nothing Of Your Body Unsoiled

This is a bit confusing. It seems to be saying that the narrator is licking the lollypop residue off someone’s teeth, which are his to own. He owns the teeth of someone else? It’s a little extreme I fear. The question arises that if they are that intimate, hasn’t he licked her teeth before during a kiss? I suppose this is meant to be a statement of passion but it falls flat to me.

So what didn’t you agree with or like about what I said to give me such a negative rating? Did I interpret it wrong? Do tell then, the meaning of this poem so I can understand better, please.

It should be “ON your teeth”, actually.
Very fun, cute, and clever little love poem.
I like it!  :)

Although this came across as sort of gross, I thought it was effective. But can you find a different word than “soiled”? Why not something positive?
You forgot the “r” at the end of “your.”
