the skin that tingles when lips meet will probably demand forever but this heart that beats out of rhythm from the touch of a dream must say no to a blush and promises instead I'm beholding to sacrifice what cannot be laid down

Richard, your potent artistry is wedded perfectly to the persuasive power of your voice expressing your verse. Intense feelings tingle the lines of your poem and one's heartstrings, as well. Deep, lustrous, physical and spiritual poetry. Love it and a Fav!! So beautifully woven together, my friend. Warmest wishes, dear poet.. ~Susan

This was a very good poem full of sense- evoking description. It had quite a 'snap' to it! Good job.
