paper and words fall in love

 

paper and words fall in love  

ink pools on ivory-skinned
paper waiting
to be filled,
meaning meanders
in line and loop laid
across love’s open page,

desire draws down flat features,
fills stroking supplication
under lamp-light night.

closed and dotted eyes
stretch like cats,
as words imagined
fill margins
and spill onto backs,
lingering liquid and permanent,

shining like stars.
