will you?

will you love me when i cannot write?

read to me the works of Sonia & Maya

& Nayyirah & Reyna?

leave a mark on my creative side,

wake it up with the sound of your voice

& the poems that fall off your tongue?

will you be such a blessing that when i feel

useless in my gift, you pick up a pen &

guide it to say what’s on your mind?

what’s on my mind?

more than i can manage.

will you lead me to music & place the

lyrics on my heart so inspiration can

flow through my veins?

will you still love me when i cannot write

about the infinite ways that i love you?
