Tactile Empath

Touch me, that’s all you have to do; Caress me with words that raise goosebumps that won’t fade; I’ll devour each and every one; Let go only when I say, ‘Enough; I have no coherent thought.’ Enjoy the slow whisper along your skin, marvel at the flames in my voice; Powerless against your match ablaze, captive to your energy; Touch me and whisper, hypnotize me with your fire.

Humans (and I am a great example), or at least some of us, are very tactile indeed, craving the touch of another and almost swooning when lightly (or sometimes roughly) stroked or caressed -- even metaphorically. It is satisfying to read such a thoughtful and well constructed presentation that allows us to experience such a "stroking". Thank you for this.
