Passion Marks

Melanated kisses 

to each fine line,

punctuated 

to let the moment breathe.

Running on ever so often 

to make the page heave,

evoking a marked memory.

Embellishing 

its beige containment with 

passion, being intimate 

with its body of work.

Taking my time to proofread 

its true meaning,

editing out the filters 

for rapport.
