you are a little boy
toying with women
instead of matches
careful!
telling me
you know how
my pleasure works
I could show you
& should
how to titillate
& inflame
you would
awake in ashes
after we have together
burned the house down

This is the riot act! Heart breakers, Don Juans and all who treat things deep and sacred with levity in your quests for physicality, better beware! All those trapped in web of eternal boyhood (read immaturity) beware. Do not toy with us and do not start fires and these may burn you!
Noel, you so understand this! It takes a grown woman or a real man (i.e., a true lover of women, or tender of that sacred fire), to see that this poem is not meant to stimulate, but to warn…..
Susan, I am blushing…..a rare feat for a black man!
