My Poetry, My Life

A New Map

you are a map.

I trace over

your veins

and I find

highways leading

straight to your heart.

I feel how

rough but smooth

your skin is

and I find

uncharted territory

yet to be

discovered.

I explore

the bends and

curves of your body

and I find

twisty roads

leading to

unknown destinations.

I look into

your eyes

and I see

the beautiful

waves of the ocean.

I touch

every birthmark

and every scar

and I find

landmarks

with a story.

I hold you

close to me

and I find

my way home.

you are a map.

you are my map.
