I Will Write You by Khari D. Hawke
I will write you letters that, When placed from end to end, Will span the length of this planet and back again
I will write your name between the lines On the dot of every "I" I will write you
I will write you so carefully You will see your reflection in my handwriting
I will write you for every word I cannot say Let my letters convey This feeling that grows within me
I will write your pain in past tense My presence felt in each sentence I will write you
I will write ink blots For every tear drop You have refused to shed Over love lost
I will write you seductively With each slow stroke of the pen So you can read the mood I’m in Over and over and over Again
I will write you with explicit ease With words fit to tease Your psyche
I will write your name with mine In cursive so that each letter is intertwined Like the snakes our legs make When you’re making me quake
I will write you in paragraphs Thick and lengthy With run-ons and fragments Whatever movement We just spent Scribbling on pads of bed-sheets Where our souls meet
I will write your future on the palm of my hand So that I can carry you with me Daily
I will write your name as an unhappened memory So that each time I hear it Déjà vu will come over me Have me sweating soliloquies On side streets
I will write you A never ending story Of possibility
I will write you |
