thousand kisses

i wonder at the thought  (of you) of (me) being left dry.
with your quill, dipped poreously, into my ink.
(with your finger on my  heart)
perhaps this parchment, with your
sweeping, elaborate strokes.
etchings on my skin.
could write history, into my body.

i wonder, at the thought (of you) of (me) us
of wandering through this ocean
(water for your lips)
of drifting in the sun
with the nettles in our hair
would that you be apollo, to bring
about the night, set us in release

could i be but helen, and launch your thousand ships
to bring your thousand kisses to my lips?
(hush, for the night is near,ever drawing near)
