Laurie Slicer Poet Free verse

And a Touch Too Tender

And a touch too tender 
Skims my cheek
Shakes my suspicion
Of what I am

He sees me
He knows me
And still 
A touch too tender
Finds me 
Wanting to believe

And a touch too tender
His incandescent breath
My disbelieving breasts
Wanting to provide him
A submission of openness
And he takes me
With gentle lips
Life feeding a hunger
And a touch too tender

But he listens
To how it must be
Knowing my fears
Waiting patient for time
And a touch too tender
Is a touch just right
