By feel, every fold in your thoughts
A persuasion of life force by daydreams or sleep
As I tumble…
In the familiar of lifelines, in being
Tugged between shadows and shimmer
As I fall…
By feel, every ache to distraction bears your image
A percussion as resistance unlatches in fine lines
As I settle…
These depths, every fold, as you reside within me
Tangled by heart into warm waters sweet perception
As I call…
Ours has not been loved before

Yes K.  this is a very beautiful poem.  
A diverse style, but very nicely done.

There is much to be felt between the folds, and you do that feeling justice TD~

I do so love the way you write...
