My fingers tickle against
The soft fibers of the first page
In a manuscript written with
dedicated ardence. I
admire the ink uncials, left behind
By eloquent whispers passed from
Your eyes, to My lips.
From your tongue
To my skin.
Salacious words succulent
That permeate the thick paper,
Like heavy breaths from a prurient
Night.
I savor the memory,
Turning over the page to find
Blank linen sheets left awaiting,
for letters and punctuation
Until, poem after poem,
A new chapter again
we commence.
Tunde Lakanu Mar 2018
Worry about me only if you want to
Worry about ever getting home again whole
To bare foot witness what we built
Burning sight of our roles

Claimed baggage was agreed upon
Carried on for the ride while never unnoticed
I wonder what you ever noticed
Whimpers before the blow hits my chest

One last whisper to glory
To the last of our beyonds
Ending miracles before they bloom
The doubt uncials in the room

Hold me down until the bubbles stop
Your heart I took
Love, I have for you
That stays put

— The End —
