His fingers trail the hated ridges across my chest I cringe and whimper softly in his neck They journey on in ruthless compassion, In determined aim to conquer, a collective act of mercy by exploring hands. Equalizing my wasteland by massaging and by kissing away my tears

Nothing is more beautiful than feeling safe in the love we share with our lover. Our walls come down and we can then be vulnerable and allow our lover to feel our hurt and help us heal in the process. Another great write!!

From one extreme to the other Darren - abuse to tender loving hands found with a compassionate soul mate. The scars on one's heart cannot be seen but hopefully with love they will heal. :-) hugs Jan xx

The one precedes the other yes, Jan :) One day my bf will do this for real, which is frightening and wonderful the same time....
