i collect
scraps of memories of you
sure some of those are so vivid
i can see them when I'm walking
walking to the unknown
opening up with every daylong conversation
whatever will we do
when we go back to work
condense the discovery into
tiny little bright yellow Post-Its
i'll stick all of yours on me
when i get home
i'll start a fire
put the champagne on ice
but not in a freezer
and i'll ease myself and
watch the sparks bounce
and i'll hear the door
you'll drop everything and
drop onto me
and i'll trace every bend of you
hang a chocolate covered strawberry over your lips
when you take it
we'll share it
the fire slowly burns down
the opposite of us
we're just beginning
we'll wrap ourselves up in blankets
stare up at the night stars
connect them to a place we will always know
a place of you and me
no distractions no deadlines
the only thing we know
devotion
