You don't need to write
me poetry
for you've already
engraved yourself
into my skin
your very being
is salvation enough
and with you
words don't even
need to exist
because your eyes
say it all
and the rhythm
of your hands
on my bones
and the fresh
beat of your heart
are my poetry


The author's comments:

This piece is about my lovely boyfriend, and was inspired by the fact that I am a writer, and he is not as much of one as me. I look at a lot of things as art, and he is one of them. He is the poetry that he doesn't need to write for me. It's called Sticky Notes because I wrote it on a sticky note late at night (tip: if you are a writer and get struck with inspiration, write it, becuase you'll forget it otherwise. No matter what time it is or what you're doing or where you are). I hope people get that this is a love poem, about a lovely person in my life, that is a living work of art, and I promise you that someone will come into your life that makes you feel like that, sooner or later.
