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! :)
