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 so tragic, that the hands cannot 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

that was drop jaw awesome dude! That is not what a woman thinks a man is feeling when he is undressing her with his eyes. Your poem draws a line in the sand that makes a distinction  between seeing and touching as clear as making love and having sex. Bravo!

This is so lovely I can't find breath, much less words... it feels... reverent... and it's with reverence I read.

C G- You wrote it so good there was no other way to feel about it (for me) Your last line made my whole being go "I want to be looked at like that."
