The Pen Pal




The Pen Pal.
Have you had one?

(A lone voice whispers)

Have you ever seduced someone with love letters?

By creating a single book of sensuous pleasures

Made love to them in ink or black font 

Caressed their mind slowly, and gave them what they secretly wanted?

Pulled back the page and welcomed them in, like hotel, hot date, bedsheets?

Reached that secret place where kindred souls meet 

Used stanzas 
Sentences or prose 

To open a red door covered in Cherokee white Rose's 

Shared the night drinking rare cocktails of Fears and Dreams

Of the once Broken

Innocence, and all things in between

Without a single word ever being spoken 

Made them pine for more, r you finally reached your pinnacle and climaxed 

Closing that Cherokee white Rose covered door

And signed off with this spiritually, unspoken line 

Will you be my forever, beloved Valentine?
