Book of Love

So my friend, it's nice to meet you

    Do you wish to read?

Well open up and go on to

    A delightful story indeed!

Now if you can just picture

    The spell was put on me

Remarkable in stricture

    Oh how I begged and plead.

So please, oh please, do read away

    Just pay me no mind.

You can read night and day

    Maybe even unbind.

I've been trapped in this book

    For longer than I can count

The sorceress tricked me with her hook

    There was no mercy, no amount.

You really are the hero 

    For which I've hoped and prayed.

So far there have been zero

    My demons still unslayed.

Your eyes they mesmerize me

    You are such a dream

You so hypnotize me

    Like the sweetest cream.

The touch of your gentle hands

    Brush softly against my spine.

Give me all your demands

    How can I make you mine?

Do you enjoy a mystery?

    How about a little history?

My pages change to fit your taste

    There is no need or time to waste.

Just please dont close my cover.

    Don't ever set me down.

I will love no other.

    Please don't make me frown.

You are my very last hope

    You are the gift I need.

We could run off, elope

    I will give you my seed.

Let me explain how this spell works

    It's really not so hard to beat

It was too much for the other jerks

    So please, my love, do take a seat.

You see I was born a maiden fair

    Boys competed to love me

But the sorceress wanted my silken hair

    Scalding her hatred was for me.

She came uninvited to my birthday soiree

     A special gift in her evil hand.

Her arrival cut short the joyous party

     She set before us her diabolical demand.

The books I so loved to read and enjoy

     Became the tool of her deed.

She used them as though they were a toy

     That only ink I would bleed.

There was one act of mercy small

      That's where you come in.

To read me, a man, dashing and tall

      His true love I must win.

If you return the love that I feel

    Do away this awful spell

Together we can break the seal

    Rescue me from endless hell.
