This poem by Herman Melville only recently came to my attention: I hadn't even been aware of the fact the he wrote poetry! Although perhaps an outdated and stigmatized representation of sharks, it still strikes me as beautiful for some reason.

Lately i have been getting mails from my readers, asking for a recitation. Here, i make a humble offering to all of you. Thank you for the love and support. www.silentfingers.wordpress.com "You are my poem. The poem I've still got to write. If you'd let your perfumed body be my paper for a day, then I'll let my silent fingers be your pen for a day. Let me mix my verbs and nouns and gently pour them onto the curves of your back. Let me weave my adverbs and adjectives and slowly spread them over your heaving chest. Let me write all day long till sun yawns and moon wakes. Let me write all night long till stars hide and dawn creeps. Let me fill the spaces between your fingers with the ink of my hand. Let me softly recite poetry into your ears and make garlands from it to decorate your wavy hair. Let my words, letters and spaces take form of balmy smiles on your lips. Let time write all the way till the paper is filled. Let moments write in any way till my ink is dried. Let my fingers bleed unknown languages into your trembling heart. Let my fingernails speak a thousand cosmic dialects on your satin skin. Let me break every norm of literature. Let me reject every form of grammar. And then let me simply forget where to put my commas and full stops. So that our poem doesn't pause, doesn't end, doesn't stop. But tell me this much my charming one! If I make you love every line, every phrase, every synonym of my poetry will I get to keep the book and the poem too? Yes, You! You are ...
