Me performing at my campus Erotic Poetry Night.

Full text of the poem:

I am a boy in heat
taking these sexual frustrations out on the page
because there's no one here to scratch
behind my ears or satisfy that itch
between my paler cheeks.
Watch out world because I am on the prowl
looking for -- hey cutie, how you doin'?
Call me later. *blows a kiss* —
Where was I? Right.

I am a boy in heat
because it's cold out there in the wintertime
and somebody has to keep it hot.
These fingertips like embers will show
you fireworks beneath the sheets
explosions bright enough to erode your will to leave
because I am a boy in a heat.

I am a boy in heat
which means I'm begging to be touched.
These quivering hands can't stand that they're empty.
Fill them with a few good men --
or don't. Beggars can't be
choosers as the idiom goes.

I am a boy in heat
fighting back the urge to strip you with my gaze
though, because I'm on stage performing
you're all in your underwear to me 
right now anyway
Nice boxer briefs over there and cute bra.
If you object to these objectifying eyes
I apologize, don't look at them.
If you do, you might see through these windows
a soul aflame.

I am a boy in heat
hold me down if you must
but in lust I will trust 
that you know I might enjoy it.
See a boy in heat
is unusually horny, ornery full to the brim
and overflowing  with love for his fellow man
understand?
 
I am a boy in heat
unsatisfied but happy
basking in the glory of eye candy
so sweet I can taste it from across the room.
If you can't handle this I'm sorry,
I am a boy in heat.
