Strummed

Resting upon my lap Your thick body Sits perfectly upon my knee My left hand Gripping your neck gingerly Delicately in my palm Beautifully dark Is your fret board Polished to reflection Ivory colored Are your machine heads Which twist smoothly Giving guidance Direct your inlays Whispering hints So defined Is your cherry back Resting on my breasts How your strings hum Echoing through My caressed fingers Each note Melodious to my heart Graceful til the end Oh the glory That is felt Each second Your beautiful voice My talent strums My wondrous guitar.

I love poems like these. lol I just kept saying, "Oh, yea. She's a lesbian"! Doesn't matter if you are. I was just saying. I love music too. I was a low brass instrument player of six years and then I moved to a school with no band :( Continue with your writing, Jillian <3
