To know what my fingers
know...

There are secrets that belong
only to the flesh.

As if a deeper truth is whispered in
the language of a touch.

Tonight...I trace a line across the
curve of our desire.

This is where we start.

And the grace of this beginning
offers solace to the
fingers.

From here...we simply listen to
the whispers.

Trusting what the fingers
know.

Very very sensual and soft in it's message.  Just as moments of explore like these should be.  Enjoyed the read much.

a friend of mine years ago, Tim,  wrote these words, as song lyrics:
"touch is all it takes to make us warm"
I lost touch with Tim years ago, but always hoped those lyrics would become a tune for all ears to hear.
And this write reminded me how true those words were.

"As if a deeper truth is whispered in
the language of a touch."

I whole heartedly agree with the above.  Excellent write!

A touch that engraves tracks of love and light upon the skin and stores them in the heart, soothing the painful yearning ...

So beautiful, dear Eric.

I love you.
