A little sugar on his spoon

A poet has to fall in love with at least three

Girls a day, girls who conjure dreams and

Schemes and take his breath away. The

Right diet for a writer, nutrition for his pen

Situations, complications, 'Oh, please, kiss

Me there again'

A poet has to feel the pull of a damsel's

Comely charms, to feel the burning fire

Inside exploding in his loins. How else

Can truth be written or fantasy conveyed

Unless the pen is charged with life and

Dipped in guilt and pain?

A poet needs a bevy of beauties on his

Arm, girls of inspiration with the knack

To turn him on. The keys to start his

Motor, ignition for his lead and a little

Sugar on his spoon three times a day

In bed
 

A Valentine smile
