To Write

I need nothing more than to write

But life is [(all) (else)]

I need nothing more than to write

                                And live

A life that fuels

                                A life that is fueled

Nothing is more than a touch

                Of skin—soft and cared for

                Of  pen—on paper

The caress of cursive

                                Of her hair

                On paper

                With my hand

Feeling is…

                First and last

                The feeling of the word in your mouth

                                                Of the thought in your mind

                                                Of your smile in my eyes

                                                                                Or a tear

                                                                                                (on the page)

Worn… Torn…  Wetted  with tears and torn.  (Wetted, torn and torn.)

I need to write…
