when young
I searched the world over
to discover what made me stand out
attract the opposite sex
the whole time
it sitting in front of me
as paper and pen

chasing women
who would never understand the beauty
of organized words
but I was in my element...home
and so I set out to show that empty world
what paper and pen could do

unbeknownst
that while certain women stayed away
birds of my own feather
would soon flock to me
thanks to a new web that spanned the globe
no longer empty
but filled with what words could accomplish

some living close enough
to find my door
so that what we now consummate
is more than love
more than our nakedness
spiritual and physical
but what pen and paper can do
