My words <br />whisper <br />tickle your belly <br />fall into <br />your belly button <br />lie there <br />all mixed up. <br /> <br />I write: “I love you! ” <br />with the tip of my tongue <br />tantalisingly slowly <br />across your taut belly <br />you shiver <br />with each dried letter. <br /> <br />“Tell me…oh... <br />...write it again... <br />...write my name... <br />...write your name! ” <br />until drugged <br />with love <br /> <br />the dawn <br />smiling upon us <br />both “pen” & “paper” <br />fall finally asleep.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-intense-caligraphy-of-the-human-voice/
