With Hands

The heart sank Into a tangible pose Uptight and harbouring The scantly ripened rose. She spoke whispers With lightly fragrant breath Listening with vacant poise The mind melts to hear. Detailing sought emotions Her words become robust Writing onto lucid skin A novel written with hands.

We have feeling, hearing, touching; the first verse is excellent. Something is bothering me, hmmmmm, I think when you say She only once, Perhaps, "Her heart sank..would tie all 3 verses together more strongly. or leave out the referrances to sex altogether. "The heart sank...."Spoken in whispers...Words become robust..Light & Love

"Writing onto lucid skin" amazing! Love the way this one flows so smoothe and gentle. Great writing. I look forward to reading more of your work! Smiles from Lolita
