I want to write
love poetry on your back
as the crisp moon
covers you
as if a bed sheet.

I take my fingers
and gently write letters
which soon form words
spouting my love
for you.

Maybe I can even
draw a heart
draw your favorite things
or give you a rose
without lifting a finger.

I want to write
love poetry on your back
until you slowly retreat
to your dreams
so I, too, can join you in them.
