Pillow Book

Dip the velvetine brush of you
   in to the inkwell and linger there
      this calligraphy; the passionate notations
  of desire, all crisp strokes and tender flourishes
the paper so ardently wants the quill
to write poems of love's power
upon the warm supple parchment of your skin
secret words that only you:: mad, mad lover comprehend
    this will be my new language.
