I want to carve my initials into the parabolas of your fingertips. I want the etchings of your ribs caged against your flesh tattooed on the back of my hand. I want to study the Braille of your tongue with my mouth, reading my name over and over and over. I want to kiss your spine, read books about your heroics and cowardice, write poems about the curve of your hair, - stop right there, I want to sketch you, stretch your smile on a canvas, capture your blinks, bends, and the Cupid's bow of your lips softly,softly,softly in pencil, shhhh. Let the cursive of your sleeping body tell me to stay, nestled in the dip of an l, the stout roundness of an o, eternity, forever, v's sharp trajectory calculating the distance to the moon and back, remember? And the way two e's lock together, pinkie swear, with all my heart, I promise to love you everyday, and twice on Sundays, And only like you on Tuesdays, but when the calendar becomes a measure of affection, Who's to say what happens in a year's time?
