Poems from the Book of Rod

Poem of the Month
This is my most recent poem...unless I haven't written anything new recently, in which case, this is something from the archives.
It's Not What You Think
6/15/97
I enter my room, and you are standing there
Silent...and waiting
I admire the smooth curves of your hourglass body
I cross the room, and take you in my arms
And as I embrace you, we sit upon the bed
Lovingly, I stroke your neck
And I place my fingers precisely on your favorite spots
My other hand moves over the opening in your center
Gently, I pick a spot, and you reply with a low hum
I alter my hand slightly, and again, you respond to my touch
Again and again, I strike
Sometimes firmly; sometimes softly
Now rapidly; now more slowly
Until together, we are making beautiful music
And I smile
When it's over, I hold you at arms length, and again
admire the way you look
I release you and depart, but it doesn't make me sad
For I am secure in the knowledge that we'll do this
over and over
Each time a little better than the last
For the rest of my days




note: this is a poem about the one
true love of my life: my guitar
