Into the Slipstream

Write me
across the pages of your universe
in passages transcribed
upon the stars
for you have read the poetry
of my soul
in braille upon my skin
and you have woven
your words with mine
across these seven seas
sailed 
between Polaris 
and Orion

Speak my name into the wind
in syllables that drip 
from your tongue
with nectar licked 
from the very tips 
of my fingers
under the spell of daybreak
chanted on the breaths
between whispers 
spoken 
by beating hearts

Carve my initials 
on the backside of the moon
and throw a kiss 
into the slipstream
for it to rain on me at twilight
and I will throw it back to you
before the night sets in
so you can drink the passion
that flows
from the inscription 
of your name
upon my lips
