Silky smooth and slick
Lines of vivid expression
Seduced every page
Ink, dark and fluid
Dripped with blood from your heart
Fine calligraphy
With pregnant pauses
Emphasizing boundless love
Nursing every sheet
With delicate care
Loving words everywhere
The book now complete
Your pen has run dry
A scratchy erratic scrawl
Nothing more to give
The pages yellow
In a book rarely opened
Of a love gone cold
