Love Letters

Love letters
written in the eyes across the room
so quiet and intense
you might not know they are there yet
Love letters
hung across the space between two
hushed and incomplete
sparks from these fingertips meet
What if they're opened?
What if they're read?
What if this is dreaming?
What if this is death?
Love letters
reaching from the nearest lips
a tremble down the heart
washed in all the secret wants
Love letters
lifting from the page
words that melt onto skin
burning the heart from within
What if they're opened?
What if they're read?
What if this is dreaming?
What if this is death...?
