An ode to morning skin...

I feel you-breathing...calm and peaceful.
Each time your heart beats it pulses through your skin-
it reaches your back and i hear it pass.
Every tiny, baby soft hair touches my face as if it were shy.

Your skin is cold like the morning air,
but with every caress i sacrifice my warmth for you.
when i breathe, you smell like all I've ever wanted,
And when i kiss you it tastes like anything i could ever need.

I close my eyes and i can feel my breath,
it begs to be let in but finds no satisfaction-
and brushes past my cheek before it joins the air.
it awakens me, it intoxicates me.

The heat in my hands against the chill of your skin,
gives it the feel of silk and i find myself mesmerized by it.
The flex in my hands and the contours of your back are a perfect fit.
Like a puzzle, each part of me is meant to be finished by you.

And we lay together-to comfortable to move,
reluctant to start the day, if only we could stay here forever...but we are together,
I am grateful for each second and every moment that you make me whole.

Tell the truth, you're not gonna hurt my feelings.

Alright, I'll tell the truth.
I absolutely......
LOVED this. It was beautiful! Your imagery was wonderful! It reminds me of when I was younger and experienced "love". I don't know why you assume the worst, but you should quit. This really was so beautiful.
