Lines

Use the lines, that outline your heart,

string them to the stars to form the

constellations, and see the blood beat,

pump from one dream to the next.

 

Use the lines, that outline your frown,

string them to the Sun and around the

Moon, and see the wrinkles stretch as

time smooths the hurt into insight.

 

Use the lines, that outline your eyes,

string them to me, wrap them around

my love, like a ribbon wand casting

its magic on a child’s delightful laugh.

 

Use the lines, to connect the points

before you. Take your time, and once

you finish, we can spend our time

to color in the blank spaces together.
