Canvas of the Flesh

Yes, to take your breath away by words alone
I am not of stone but of flesh and bone
I break and crack until my demise 

My heart follows ~
A trail of fire ~ of burning desire 
That is love, that inseparable connection 
 between two hearts 

Those ever soft touches that brush the skin like canvas of the flesh ~
Leaving tingling sensations 
Seductively caressing the bristles of the brush 
that strokes to your touch 
Dazzling warmth turned to love
A smoldering moan yearns out 

Of hearts that pull to one another
Attached two souls ~
Glisten like the stars with reflection from the heart
