Each day when I wake you press into the corners and crevices of my mind Where you staying all day until I close my eyes. Even then at night, you're there but clearer more central and sudden, urgent and temporal. I see us together, a couple at last. Sometimes in sadness, others are happy, we laugh. Always you touch me your soft hand outstretched I feel on skin, the ridges of your prints. If I could be inside your fingerprint Make me little, so little you cannot see As I wander the channels and valleys of skin The labyrinth of passages that are so of you That not another on earth could ever produce Inside your ring finger there's waves to move through Layers upon layers of walls to peruse There's a centre of course, the heart of your design And when I find it, it will then become mine.

A fingerprint forever
Each day when I wake you press into the corners and crevices of my mind Where you staying all day until I close my eyes. Even then at night, you're there but clearer more central and sudden, urgent and temporal. I see us together, a couple at last. Sometimes in sadness, others are happy, we laugh. Always you touch me your soft hand outstretched I feel on skin, the ridges of your prints. If I could be inside your fingerprint Make me little, so little you cannot see As I wander the channels and valleys of skin The labyrinth of passages that are so of you That not another on earth could ever produce Inside your ring finger there's waves to move through Layers upon layers of walls to peruse There's a centre of course, the heart of your design And when I find it, it will then become mine.
