The Next Best Award

 
The next best award would be,
Ah, yes, what women have given me.
Accolades of love, sex and sensuality
imbued with varied scents and tonality.
 
But unlike notions of regret,
it is best that I do not forgot.
The key to their magic kingdoms aside,
They dwell in my heart wherever they reside.

And from them there lies perennial joy.
Not a mere fabrication or mind-set ploy
but a real and tactile memory
indelibly placed by species of femininity.

Indeed, the next best award I’ll ever know
til the next owns my heart and doesn’t go.
