You apologize
as if ashamed
of your work worn
rough calloused hands
You worry they hurt me
with course caresses
on tender bare
You forget it hurts me
to see the abuse and neglect
you put upon them
that pains you
You forget that
those hands are the ones
I long to have reach for me
That want to touch me
just because I am
within arms reach
Hands without thinking
seeking fleeting sensations
of affirmation
that my skin
still delights
in each connection
with you

A touch, rough-hewed or as smooth as silk, if you are touched in a loving way is all that matters. I have a feeling he has that special kind of loving touch. Lucky you.

Lori, interesting use of sensual stimulus/response to reach inner human feeling...in search of special oneness with another...beautiful poem. RV
