My Starry Letted

My Starry Letter

If at once, a god's heart bursts
With flourishes of color
With teeth clenched, lips pursed
They immortalized their lovers
In the stars

If at once, I could reach them
And pluck them in slight
With quill of a feathered Wren
I would write
A letter

If at once, my ink was bright
With the dim light of lovers' lust
And the glow of the stars' sight 
Of the world on the cusp
Of dawns and dusks 

If at once, I'd write my heart
Into the paper built with my skin
And tattoo in part
The lover's vow on the rim
Of my eye

If at once, this proclamation 
Ceases to capture your soul
And turns your heart away, my explanation 
Shall be the words off my tongue in rolls
Of, "I love thee,
Love me"
