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.
