Before opening me
Be sure I am what you want
Because until now
You have only seen my cover

Are you prepared to discover
The allegories buried within?

Few attempted to delve inside
But most failed to understand
The underlying personal inscriptions
That illustrate who I am

Are you prepared to submerge
Deep into the depths of my soul?

Uncover what makes me smile
And offers me solace
Learn my causes of darkness
And why I revel in the iniquitous

Open me
Stroke my pages
Caress my words
And explore who I am

Hear the nefarious laughter
That surrounds me
See the vicious phantasms
That cuddle with me as I sleep

Let the faint aroma
Of tear stained ink
Be your addiction
As you turn each page

Are you ready to encounter
My obsidian rapaciousness

Take a risk, take a chance
Open me
Fondle me
Learn all of me

Learn what makes
My velvety subtle breasts
The color of pale pink tea roses
Ache impatiently

Learn what enables
The sweet intoxicating
Warm, shuddering breaths
To escape my lips

Can you release yourself
Slowly and provocatively

Are you willing to pour
Without reservation
Your love and your body
Entirely into me

Open me fervently
Patiently peruse my words

Open my center of paradise
Release my inhibitions

Familiarize yourself with me
Identify me
Embrace me completely
And appreciate every part

Memorize every lyric
And every verse
Know me from top to bottom
Inside and out

Don't hunt for selected phrases
Or categorical euphemisms
Don't read between the lines
Or insert fallacies

Unfold my cover
Decipher me slow
Enter my world
Let me flow through you

And once you are done
Read me again
