Inspired - Roger Rabbit

I don't know what it is about being surrounded by artistic people, but it always gets my juices flowing. I went back and looked at some of my old work and this one made me smile.

A few years ago I was watching Roger Rabbit and I was inspired by his letter to his wife.

My darling Jessica,

How do I love thee? 

Let me count the ways. 

One one thousand. 

Two one thousand. 

Three one thousand.

Lover,

I promise to never play patty cake with another

For me there is no other

You are where my soul comes to rest 

Put me through any test

I attest that without you my life is a big 'ol mess

That's not true

But I Confess to wanting nothing more 

     than my head on your chest and your arms around my waist

I want to feel you, I want to smell you

Yeah, I said I want to smell you

I want your musk on my skin 

I want to breathe you into my lungs

I want to taste you, ingest you

digest your very essence 

Your presence is toxic and I'm sick from you

For real my stomach's turning and churning 

The butterflies cause my heart to sigh 

There is no cure 

since I could never be sick of you or the illness that is you

Now that I found you 

I realize that the revenue most dear to me is that you're still here with me. 

I'm craving you like a junkie on the streets 

or a seven year old kid who needs sweets

I got to have you in every which way I'm allowed to

I want to take every piece of you in 

because not love you in a sin

And on facebook I became a fan of you 

because there is no button for how completely in love I am with you

You inspire me to keep writing this poetry

Now that's one, two, three, four one thousand

For however long it takes to convince you

I'll start again

Lover.
