To Love Poem by Amber Piercy

Prompt: the signs of love

To Love

I make love to you, but let me be more specific
I use my hands to paint each hieroglyphic
I draw each line on your body
I paint each curve feeling naughty

I captivate your mind but let me tell you why
I'm completely drawn to you like Venus was drawn to the sky
Inside that black velvet he painted each one
Then the lighting of the stars begun

Our souls are entangled together forever
Carrying the lightest weight like a feather
It moves oceans and mountains as well
I knew all of this the moment that I fell
