American Literature Falling In Love With You
It was the early 80's
I was in Military boarding School
A teen
an open
vessel
to learn
I remember
Colonel Hayes
English Teacher
Actually smoked
while he taught
There was
many of a time
we as students
tried to evade
The Colonels' ashes
when he
shook
his hand
as he lectured
this was
the time
I fell
in love
with
you
as you
seduced
me with
Such classics
as the
"Catcher in The Rye"
"The Great Gatsby"
and The horrors
of Edgar Allen Poe
You
American Literature
became my Lover
One I could
sit back
and dream
with
A mentor
that surged
the creativity
that I held
within
and
a co conspirator
to my life's
escape
As a True Lover
you are..........................
I often go
back to
you
as you
satisfy
my intellectual
urges
like no
other
a life long
addiction
that I am helplessly
enslaved to.......................
