Drawing You
First, draw
a smile
then playing with the lines
transform them into laughter
let the laughter escape
the page
& fly around the room
let it alight on
anything it wishes
then delicately
take a pair of
sparkling eyes
until they too
sing with laughter
sketch just
the suggestion of
the passion
that is promised
now put down the pen &
continuing
no further with the drawing
kiss her
for real
...the drawing is complete.
