Make love to my mind
Before you touch my body
Feed my senses
With intimate words
Recite poetry into my ears
While your fingers play with my hair
Romance me in libraries
Woo me in museums
Gift me books by classic authors
Just to see the joy light my face
Read with me by firelight
Wipe away my tears
When my favorite characters die
Regale me with the tales
Of your heroic quests for knowledge
Oh scholarly warrior!
Oh brilliant suitor!
Make love to my mind
Before you touch my body
And you’ll win my heart
For all time
