Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Silk, the Rose

Silk, the rose passed gently along my ache
where long dormant senses wake
every move you make  most incredible
as whispered eyes move close to rest

Pain, you have lain too long 
through the recesses of my time 

Rewind, I have taken back my mind
as fingers glide towards the spine
worn down pages flipped over and
the hunger fades the blues

No sequels written, it is as if ...
satin slides the night
touches wont ignite

Chris Green June 26, 2017 at 1:38 PM This has the feel of beginning something again, I am not too sure, I can feel a certain passion but also a push back of sorts. Nicely done.
