Watch­ing Paint Dry

The lovely devoshn men­tioned that she was begin­ning to believe that I could write about watch­ing paint dry and make it sound… inter­est­ing. That sounded like a chal­lenge to me.

Across her shoul­der blades
Into the curve of her spine
Touch­ing the hol­low of her waist

Her creamy skin drink­ing my writ­ing
A poem that she’ll only feel
A poem about her that she’ll never read

Her hair cas­cad­ing across the words
Across my devo­tion to her
Ten­derly caress­ing us on her back

And she sits there patiently
Breath­ing slowly, accept­ing me on her
And I burn her sil­hou­ette into my heart

As I watch the paint dry
