Unfold a whisper
held on your tongue—
it is sweetest released
on the curve of my ear—
your lips a light-touch paintbrush
coloring my skin.
And you will find me
folding
my hand into yours—
a canvas of two—
us blended,
entwined and unending.

"A canvas of two" is perfection. Beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteI feel two hearts as one here. What a joyful reality to feel that way about someone.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much love in these words. These lines especially spoke to me,
ReplyDelete"And you will find me
folding
my hand into yours—
a canvas of two—"
I like how the first stanza is unfolding and the second is folding.
