On Paper
I don’t know what to do with you
Easiest thing is to put you on paper
Let my feelings escape though my fingertips
Thoughts get lost somewhere between my lips and heart
Majestically seeming close to perfect for me
So instead of leaping in, I’ll write you down
Caress you in lovely letters and lengthy lines
Wrap you in curvy commas
And I won’t stop until the period comes
Forever on my paper you can live with no revision necessary
Indelible, you’ll last here forever
Trapped in volumes of whispers and chapters of touches
Kept, for now, in my securest space
Fear free, we can meet between my lines
Here on my paper intertwined in a tango of similes
Like the rhythm from a hummingbird’s wings
Best for me to let my words sing your praises
Committed to you in every syllable I pen for you
The words sound good, truth felt
The words on paper, last always.
