Literature Text

there is poetry in your bones;
written on the underside of
your femurs,
and all up and down
your frail little carpals.
limericks live on your
humerus,
barely visible through
your see-through skin.

there is poetry in the
graceful curve of your
eyelashes against those
rosy cheeks;
mermaids would kill
to have lips
as enticing as yours.
sonnets should be written
about the seduction of
your smile.

there is poetry in way you breathe-
how you talk and how you eat,
how you move and softly sleep.

there is poetry in the beat of your heart,
the blush in your eyes,
the quiver in your lip.
you are poetry.

and i will spend all of my life
trying to describe
the many ways
you are.
