New Senses

Fingers ghost like on my back Turn my body liquid As ripples on a sun drenched lake Ruled by none Skin Stands prone before a closet Wondering what to wear Must we really rise? I was so happy there, To meet the day. Thoughts None beyond the bed Nothing forced Shout joy until we're hoarse With nothing spoken nothing said I saw it in your eyes I heard it in your sighs

Great images that you portray in your words. I really liked the "ripples on a sun drenched lake." Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Meg. That was written a long time ago, but rereading it brings the memories flooding back.
