"Ode To My Guitar"

written by

William W. Harris

Orgasms should be this pure. Your

soft maple neck, holding the same

 

fingers that hold you. The way light

shimmers off your glittering body

 

when I swing you in my arms. My

digits slide up and down your

 

strings, stopping at frets only long

enough to make you sing or scream.
