In this world of hands
        And the incessant demand
          For touch,
           I stand amazed
             That more of my ilk
                Don’t announce
                 This preoccupation
                   In the manner of other
                    Pleasured parts.

                      For there is a coarseness
                        Of desire
                         Enjoyed by and
                          Reserved unto intimates,
                           That quashes
                             The politically correct
                              And travels direct
                               Non-stop to where
                                The hands
                                   With  
                                   The blood-red
                                     Nail polish
                                      Touch me.

Lovely poem.

~Astraea

 "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness."

"Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things."

Hi Mars ~ Neat observational/personal piece. I enjoy your propensity for including sometimes unexpected detail in your writing.

Take care,
Claire

Touch, I believe, is one of the best ways to communicate love! Beautiful poem!
