Easy Lover

The solid core of an unopened book

Beacons to me with a sensual look

What wonders will be mine

When I open that spine







I cannot presume to guess


God, what an easy lover a book would make


I feel the dry pages of that old novel

The never ending pleasure of which it’s a model

I lick my finger slowly and motion for more

Undressing the next page of classical lore

The naked outline- uninhibited and open


God, what an easy lover a book would make


The caressing of pages in loving manner

One rip of the page- my heart would shatter

Cherished and reputable in both books and men

Sometime one and the same I pretend

They both widen my mind and leave me breathless


God, what an easy lover a book would make
