I Want To Marry A Writer

Nicole Lough

I want to marry a writer.

I want his tongue to twirl and unravel

The mysteries beyond men.

To stare into his eyes,

And see the galaxies

that lay unknown.

For his lips will steal my words,

And form their individual dialogues.

His kisses will knock the wind out from me

Because each one will be an adventure

That will discover a new treasure within one another.

His hands will rob me of my sight,

But implode an internal light

Underneath my rocky crust and explode

My core until it is dust.

The world that was once relative,

The world I used to fall in,

Will not matter at all.

He and I would elope to our own fantasies

With a black ink pen and a cup of tea.

To marry a writer

Would be a never- ending ecstasy.

If I trip,

Then I will not fall.

I have left the world of gravity

To be a character in his fantasy.

The horror of imagination

Is a consequence of a writer’s hand.

His words are a binding art

And they have a hold on my heart

For I am to die and live forever within his pages
