Romance a book

Since our first
introduction
I can't take my eyes
away
I scan your body with
seduction
enveloped by every word
you say

I hold you delicately in my
palms
supporting your
spine
your smooth soft cover
calms
once marked easy to
find

I lose my place in
your verse
I revisit your inner
beauty
time and again I
converse
with you… this sacred
duty

running my fingers under
the cover
over softly textured
skin
excited plot I
discover
let the climax
begin
