My Page
My Page
My page lies motionless as you hover above
About to descend, you grip your pen with strong desire
Careful not to tear my tenderness with your touch
You stroke your ink across my smooth paper
Searching, exploring, discovering
Tracing with the imprint of your pen
Mistakes of my past lovers crossed out
As you fill my emptiness with your expert caress
My page explodes with lines of lust for you.
When your pen finishes the last line
You crease my page with careless folds
Discarded like a letter and thrown out
A flag at full mast signals my departure
Addressed to the arms of a new lover
Your face forever stamped on my heart
Labeled with the fate of return if I am lost
Tumbled and tossed in a sea of other letters
I find a new pen to erase the hurt
My seal is reopened and a new page begins.
