Here
upon fresh linen
let me
once more
pen
for thee...

such poetic lyricism
as my tongue
could never say,

let these words like ink
flow freely
from the very heart
of me...

expressing openly
upon this
naked  
cotton canvas
the want and need I bare
for thee,

let its stain
lie
upon thy unburdened flesh
in tattooed hues

for all to see

yet for only

you

and I

to feel.
