what we will with love

i wrote this after watching Bright Star for the third or fourth time... : ) based off of Fanny & John's relationship in the movie. 

We just do

what  we will
with love.

I trace my fingers 

on the white, old 

wood wall,

and tap my nails on its

flat body. 

my braid swings

down on to my 

shoulders,

as I put my lips to

the wall, and kiss it.

I push closer, gently,

with slow effort, knowing

your self, you, are in the room

next to it, hovering like a universe,

taking me in and it all in; love in, gently in.
