Love Letter Poem – Tracing Horizons

Tracing Horizons is a love letter poem, a celebration of love, a description of how love is the salt of life.

Tracing Horizons

With my soft pencil, 
sharpened but round-tipped,
I traced the words of your letter
until they merged with the grooves on my skin.

I traced the words of your letter with colouring pencils
red, blue, yellow, black, white, brown, orange, pink
fattening the paper into a blooming meadow
spanning my traced horizon.

Watercolour brush in hand,
clear water spilt,
I traced the words of your letter
until I drowned in the aquarelle.
