I’ll make you into a poem
Shape a simile from your smile
Lay a line for your laughter
Morph metaphors from your mind.
I’ll make myself the punctuation
The question mark in the curve of your ear
The ellipsis of freckles aligning from your wrist
To your elbow
The quotation marks framing your words.
I’ll make our love the rhythm
And our hate the irregular
Beat.
I’ll write words on your collarbone
Whisper rhymes into your hair
Etch allusions tenderly onto your eyelids.
I’ll stretch you for miles
Memorize your every line
And hold you
Forever in my heart.
