the written word

you fall
in love not too
easily.
but words
have a way of
making you crawl
quickly
towards
the light of
someone who
can write.
the heart
and brain leading
the hand
towards a swirl
of sensual
ink.
you can almost
hear her
breathing.
feel the touch
of her punctuation,
how she dots
her i's,
crosses her t's,
turns
the pages of
her day.
