Indelible

If my soul were a window

it would bare

a thousand tiny fingerprints

indelibly marked with your love

and visible to no-one

save the one who put them there.

Don't know how but my mind pictures small footprints on a leather couch and sticky finger prints on all the lowest windows. She's graduated High School since then.

Thank you - wrote it for my husband - they are his fingerprints!

This makes my heart sigh. Brief, yet amazingly full.

[New Dawn]

Thank you so much

[quinfinn]

pure emotion spread lovingly by pure genius!

[New Dawn]

Thank you so much - wrote this for my husband - he is the one who gets to see the fingerprints - as well as the one who left them there.

[quinfinn]

as it should be... you are blessed to have each other!

I like the metaphor of the window quite a lot. You show us how those we love touch the deepest parts of our identity, and even though others can not visibly see the prints we leave on their soul, the results still show in our behavior. I enjoyed this poem quite a lot!
