Sensitive Skin

You're currently on the other side of the world and this is really not helping

Your fingertips felt like ice cubes running down the curve of my spine, and I melted right into you 

You had been waiting far too long as you watched me ramble on, only thinking of how you wanted me in your arms

So when you touched your lips to mine in a welcomed surprise, of course I had melted 

The softness of your kiss (so like your roses) carried me away to where trivial thoughts were unneeded, and my mind, if but for a few minutes, was yours 

I pulled you in close but I wanted you closer 

After all, a piece of you is already in my heart, and I felt it beating out of my chest as to be reunited with you 

Your breath harmonized with the sound of my dress zipper, and let me tell you, I have never heard such a beautiful noise 

Your hands turn every mundane act into artistry 

And as I revealed myself to you, I felt a most comforting exposer

The warmth of your skin matched the warmth of my affection, and I felt every movement 

Like a dance, our bodies tangled in flawless unison 

 Our skeletons intertwined, your rib cage opening to reveal heavy lungs and a pounding heart 

The look in your moon-lit eyes told me that you were within the stars and you never wanted to come back down to Earth 

So you decided to bring me into the cosmos with you 

I clung to you as if I were falling, grabbing hold of your arms, back, hair 

And when I saw the constellations, I understood 

You wanted me to see all of that beauty, and I never wanted you to close your eyes 

So I'm sorry that I'm not sorry, my love 

I just adore the way I look on your neck

A beautiful and emotional ride in your words.
"So you decided to bring me into the cosmos with you
I clung to you as if I were falling, grabbing hold of your arms, back, hair
And when I saw the constellations, I understood "
Rarely do we show real self and fall into perfect place. I like the lines above. Good to know the cosmos of perfect location and time. Thank you Jenna for sharing the excellent poetry.
