Mooring Lines and Sea-Weathered Knuckles

Drip yourself onto me,
let me feel submerged in your touch.
Steal my air and leave my conscious mind
stranded on islands with unclothed natives,
they smile at my discomfort.
Oh to swim in your skin,
losing sight in the darkness
only to find that I was headed to the deep.
I am amazed by curves opposite your back,
they beckon me to gaze as if to tell a fortune lost,
but even your palms have no lines to follow into tomorrow.
Grasp the guide and remember to hold on tight,
this ride moves quickly into the night and on through
the unknown behind intentions.
Cling to my hand love, cling to my plan...

I like this one. Very visual. I'm especially fond of the line, "but even your palms have no lines to follow into tomorrow." Good write, thanks for sharing.
