Pick pocket

Running my fingers
through the folds
of your clothing,
Till I find that piece of you
kept hidden so well

I pocket what I need
and resign to charity
spelling out romantic gestures
with the tips of my fingers

I've got you on my lips
blowing breezes
to summer skin
and I'm picking your locks
unbuttoning your chains
stealing your curves
with a sleight of hand

~Keeping every moment
for my selfish, shoebox heart

I think this is probably one of my favorites from you, Shane. You have wound together the perfect bit of imagery and metaphor into a package that is not only sensual, but also filled with deep longing. I don't know whether to feel happy or sad in finishing this piece, and I think that is the beauty of it. This is real life...we are all takers in a way, and we are all givers too. To save those things most precious, little treasures in our own "shoebox hearts"...what a great image.

Oh, it's nothing. But really, thanks, it means a lot to me to know you like my writing and why.

You painted a beautiful piece of art, one that left me entranced; cast under your sensual spell. I loved it! You used such great imagery, that had me compelled to keep reading on. Beautifully penned.
