Love Her Chapters

Carress her spine, 
Finger the folds of her pages, 
Make love to her letters, 
Touch her where she is most fragile, 
Make her bindings come undone. 
Love her, nakedly. 
Love her like your favorite book.

This reminds me of a poem on here that I love. I too enjoyed your sentiments. "Touch her where she is most fragile"..those lines are spine-rattling, in the best way. Always, Laura

Isn't it wonderful how the blind read Braille ? A woman is indeed like a good mystery novel : There's a surprise waiting on the next page. I enjoyed this poem, Jay !

I love how very physical your desire can be, a rough beauty...Justin
