No Need to Be Strong

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.
