My Book of Love

By colleen

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Living like a rock star;It's a permanent lifestyle.Temporary lovesJust one night is all I can afford.You taste so sweetYou smell so goodThis thing is so right,But don't forget to be out by sunrise.You tug at my bra,I nibble your ear.It has to be quick,I think to myself,In a moment of weaknessFalling to my kneesFeeling the joy of this love.The sun has risen,You're not gone.Time to move onAnother cityAnother hotelAnother love,But not another you.I could start a baby name book for boysWith all of the Many loves I've acquiredBut there would only be one Who would get his own page,His own section reservedJust for himTo the meaning of his nameAnd every little fact I could fit inFrom the deep brown eyesTo his birthday.The book of names can never be completeAs I tour around the countryI slowly gather moreFor my never ending book Written October 25th, 2001 © on Oct 25 2001 03:52 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
