deep soft warmth encased in meek palms
fingers smooth
and formulated truths
each groove parts seas of future loves

following the mold laid out before me
thoughts and mind flow
out of perky fingertips
through the barrier of time
a pen is gripped as my head tilts slightly

a journey takes place
to watch you hold my own
gratuitously

and now, as time allows
your grip becomes tighter
the swell of a ravaged soul
protruding, a once favorable innocence
now drowning
lines
cracks

i feel your heartbeat
