mem-o-ri-za-tion (n.)
to learn you by heart
to immortalize Us, drawing the art
that you are
down to your feather lashes, the bump on your nose bone
the freckle between your eyebrow,
the wayward hair that I've known
for only less than a hundred hours.
But, love, We are based not on time,
We are based on the showers
of kisses we give
and the glances we steal
of each other when one of us is not looking
and the moments of bliss that we feel
This moat around me
is drying up, revealing the soil
And you're holding the seeds
ready to wipe away the toil
I've endured, my hard work ceasing to exist
replacing it with flowers,
all from a First Kiss.
