my angel in the center fold May 7, 2012

 

I saw her naked

long before I actually

 saw her naked,

 a surprise gift of photographs

 she slipped in between

the parade of portraits

 I have become so addicted to,

a strange show of trust

 I'm not completely certain I deserve,

 not that I'd dare show them to anyone

or even look at them

 except in the dead of night,

in secret like a teenage boy

looking at playboy under the covers,

 only she is no fantasy

the way playboy always was,

 even though she is every much

as pretty as the models

 who get paid so much more

to show all they have for all of us,

 a private peep show

I feel guilty indulging in,

even though I do indulge,

 at those times when

I feel utterly alone,

 my angel in the center fold

 just for me.
