I learned about love
in the arms
of a talented woman,
skilled in the finer arts
& a little bit older,
so distinguished.

She showed me sweet things
that the boys & I saw,
read about only in the girlie magazines.
I learned a lot about certain aspects,
the most sensitive parts
of the human anatomy.
There were elements of geometry,
chemical reactions & a sacred order
practiced on this pathway to nirvana.
I was taught
while pictures & words were one thing,
real flesh was everything.
Tender Kisses and soft touching
were greatly impressed upon me.

She sealed my fate
from our very first date
& I've been smitten ever since
with such intimate,
sensuous acts,
a willing prisoner
to her fine memory
with no escape.
