My eyes are like hands, firm, yet tender skinned,
Holding you up from sinking softly, down
And absorbing the senses taken in,
As feet remain planted on solid ground
Countless sights, and pleasures the eyes will bring,
Empowered by sight alone to touch thee
Held transfixed by a gaze unrelenting,
Yet tragic, that the hands can also see
The imprint of thy image, volumes speak,
Of touches that I can furtively steal
Across time, distance, a sensory feast,
Through the eyes, my flesh can faithfully feel

My eyes caress like hands across your skin
Let me feel you like that, and take you in
(Dedicated to all the long distance, unrequited lovers out there)

The imprint of thy image, volumes speak,
Of touches that I can furtively steal
Across time, distance, a sensory feast,

My eyes caress like hands across your skin
Let me feel you like that, and take you in
=======================

you do this so very very well PK ...
the signature of your poetry ...
the cadence that is divine
the very cool(hot) sensual undercurrents that flow thru...

"My eyes caress like hands across your skin"

"Let me feel you like that, and take you in"

indeed ... *whew* ... indeed. *S*

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

And would thy touch
bring life
and hope
and spirit renewed
then this tender touch
of thy word
brings life,
and hope,
and spirit,
renewed

sorry....when I'm overwhelmed with a poem, I turn poetic in reply....
