this, us, we
are a work in progress
you breathe, and I
take notes on the
symmetrical line of
your back as your muscles
expand and retract
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
that you’ve inspired
100,000,000,000
of these love notes
in a span of time
that is but a drop in
our forever ~
excites my soul
for
in all my life, I’ve never….
…and all the
silent messages
authored by your fingers
the night you
placed your palms
upon my cheeks,
positioned, peeled, parted,
pierced my flesh
and love oozed bright red
have yet to be written
yes ~ every word you said…
that your heart knew
who we’d be 2
1
another even before
our eyes could see
renders my tongue
still tied to the moments
we entered
eternity
baby
if my pen should
stammer, and my
thoughts should
stutter….
if I freeze in mid-stroke
what I need to utter
just open me
that beautiful way you do
read my endless pages
on loving you
