Seeing Through the Darkness

With his fingers is how a blind man sees
Letting his touch relay the imagery
Now saunter over here next to me
So your beautiful face my hands can see

Your skin is as smooth as a porcelain doll
My fingers trace over a bountiful smile
Your lips are full and subtly wet
A coquettishness I seem to detect

Your nose is carved with perfect symmetry
A button nose, described it would be
Your cheeks are soft and round and full
A little heat suggests I am exciting you

Your eyes are large and mostly round
Your brows, sculptured and curved I found 
Eyelashes tickle the palms of my hands
Like butterfly kisses from a dreamland

Ears are hidden beneath long silken hair
Unattached lobes with diamonds in there
My fingers are in love with what they just explored
Now my lips are aching to see some more

Ah, yes indeed, the fingers can most definitely see a whole lot more sometimes--very sensuous take on the theme, Joe-- and your last line there I think was the perfect way to end this... super congrats on your win! :)
