MAHOGANY


Latter-day Valentino; he's
less predator, more
innocent philanderer.
What female could resist
the subtle, age-old
flattery that leads
from nightclub wooing
to warm bed, unclothed?

And after the four-hundredth
notch in bedpost?
Four hundred-and-first
is lined up in
laser sight of
soulful brown eyes.
And she merges,
willingly,
into carved mahogany.

  1. Excellent. Magical, yes, but also a delicious dab of humour - or is that just a male take on it?
