Don'T Rush, For Nothing

Always, 
I shake
My pen, before 
I write.

The remnants of 
My thought I had yesterday
Still remain,

Asleep,
I sip them not
From my pen, but I just 

Let them 
Flow, 
Without force, for

Thought 
Will come again, 
Exactly

The same 
As I felt
Her whimsy throb, 
Last night.
