Touching You

~Touching You~

(original artwork by David Mesplé - thumbnail from Exhaustion of Courage)

My palms ingest your protective fleece

My fingers devour you like Penelope

Welcoming home her hero

These hands remember every hair

Every curve, like a bird in migration

My skin senses where home is

Your skin beckons my grasp

Touchable creaminess covers your body

Like silken spun softness – it’s magic

I feel like Ulysses and your velvety skin

My quest
