Grab your instrument of choice Place pressure on a clean slate Let’s start off gentle and slow Seductively you round each vowel Connecting consonants fluidly Slowly and with intention Each syllable etched into permanence With every verse teasing The spaces in between feel Like miles across the page As if letters long to touch one another You drop **** ellipses With perfect timing… Paragraphs forming Completing thoughts That’s it now Harder impressions with your tool There’s no need to be gentle You’re getting closer To the end But pace yourself We’re not done yet The last thought leaves me Almost satisfied But more chapters await The completion Of this body of work You crave to manipulate phrases And dominate expressions You wish to make me Weak and tremble From your mere strokes To captivate and leave me Breathless in anticipation Your words flow effortlessly Smooth, bold and intense Full in length of feeling And thicker in meaning Making me sopping wet As I take in Every line of your piece With each turn of the page You drive your point Harder and harder With dramatic exclamations Until you bring me To the brink of ecstasy With your pulsating conclusion
