Touch me, skin grown cold between times of now and before
Feel me shiver at warmth forgotten, lost to nightmare-scapes
Curled around myself, protective of my chilled memories
Stiffened, breath caught as fingers move between ribs and hips
Hands spread soothing, stroking my fears away into the night
Relaxed into the whispered promises of pleasure
Touch me, skin long cold warms with new memories
Shivers created and stored for new dreamscapes
Unfurling, as fingertips trace a tattoo along indented waist
Gladdened, terrors sent chasing into darkness, fears released
Promised pleasure in fear abandoned and joy found
Touch me again, donβt stop
Valentine, 12-July-14

Val, so sensual and so very romantic. Love it.
Thanks Monica. People are having very different reactions to this one. I thought this one was rather dark. Interesting.
Romantic yet dark and all wrapped effortlessly into one poem!
I thought it was on the darker side while writing it Christy, it seems though others saw something different in it. Strange isn’t it. Thanks, I value your thoughts.
Love your sensuous moments Val π
Aw Sue, thanks.
At times sensual, at times a teasing anticipation and at times a dare even – marvellously pulled off π
No pun intended (naughty smile)
You have this continuing ability to draw us into the moment.
Moments, are difficult to capture but wonderful to hold.
Whew … time for a shower. π
Or take your wife dancing. π
She’s not here … off to the shower again.
Well you are in trouble then, sorry.
That a way … tell it like it is.
Truly beautiful and sensuous Valentine π
Thank you my friend. These are pulled out of me, sometimes I wonder whether I should post them, they are so very different from my norm. Then I shrug and think, they are simply another piece of me. I am always so grateful when others enjoy them or they cause someone to think.
Of course you should! The theme apart, your poetry is really well conceived.
