Every Lover Needs A guitar...

With inspiration by David E. Lewis who wrote "A Lover Needs A Guitar".

This morning while working to stay slim, I concocted the notion that if you were looking for a truly gifted lover, the best place to look would be among musicians.

That does not mean or should not suggest that only musicians are gifted lovers - I'm not a musician.... Nor does it mean that every musician is a gifted lover. I do believe however that among musicians there are more truly gifted lovers than among any other identifiable segment of humanity.

Now your idea of what constitutes a truly gifted lover may differ significantly from mine (or everyone else's for that matter). However, in my mind, lovemaking is the music of touch - rhythm, melody, harmony, and as we used to say, "the space between the notes".

The most gifted lovers add voices - dramatic narrative, suspense, comedy, and small animal sounds.

Someone a friend of mine knows wrote:

"the task of a lover
is the life of a magician

to slowly convince your body
to dissolve
in a wash of kisses

and then to pull it back
through the keyhole
of surprise"
