You never know
That while you sleep
I write my poems across your back
I use both hands to colour in   the  
Secret parts I keep within
I criss and cross
I turn and toss
Unsettled
Nestled
Now at your feet
You wake    and lift me up
And so
The day begins
And you
Never
Know

I'm not sure if this is passionate or sad...either way I found many ways to relate.
