Note on a Bedroom Door

Awake herein the sleeper with a kiss
If amorous be thine intent and mood
If, mortal, thou desirest heaven’s bliss
And if thy thoughts are sensuous, and lewd

Awake the sleeper! With a gentle touch
Electric with thy love, upon her skin
Expressing urgency, but not o’ermuch
Allowing passion slowly to begin

Then will her moist crevices, warm from sleep
Expose themselves to thine inquiring tongue
And then thy surging manhood eager leap
Betwixt limbs in abandon outward flung…

She sleeps and, sleeping, waits thy swift return
With dreams disturbing, and with lips that burn!
