The Fingerprint

the electricity, intensity breaks its way through,

through the sedation, the raw emotions that

have been rendered chemically static

I absorb even his most subtle touch

the length of his thumb lay along my hand

compassion and warmth, creating a sense memory

a fingerprint 

I folded into it,

let it calm me,

balance me

The intimacy lingers still...

It doesn't quench my desire

it sets it ablaze

burning, tormenting, craving

hoping

hoping for more than a fingerprint

This is beautiful. It strikes me as a very realistic capture of the emotions and feelings that are so often just laden with fluffy metaphors. very personal, very intimate. Very original; specific to the situation it's describing, but relatable to everyone .. yep i liked it.
