Calligraphy

Touch, sight, words... Passion can be conveyed in so many ways

My fingers write the calligraphy of my desire on the small of your back as I close my eyes and inhale your fragrance. I long to experience your very essence as I read every curve of your skin in the same way the sightless perceive braille; each subtle change in texture, be it a beauty mark or a scar, is simply another verb in the unwritten poetry of your absolute perfection.

Very much enjoyed this. It is sexy, yet full of admiration and passion, like every man should feel in the heat of the moment torn between natural beauty and animalistic instincts, craving for more, never settling for less. Entranced, yet ready to take action. Go You!

Yes! This is a thought I've had too :-)
Really nicely penned !
"......simply another verb in the unwritten poetry of your absolute perfection."
Genius.
Thanks

Seems here you're etching a tattoo of words on the canvas of her back...and doing so without having to see...just sense the thoughts from your mind...I wonder at times what absolute perfection is in a woman or person...does she not have impurities..that give her purpose...we leave that to the eyes of the beholder:

be it a beauty mark or a scar

I see this a lot with the format...at of late..one complete thought in a paragraph...

The beauty of braille is that it allows people to perceive written words purely through touch; in a way it is intimate beyond any sentence seen and understood merely read with our eyes.
Have you ever traced patterns whose meaning is known only to you on the back of a lover?
That is the feeling I hope to convey, that is my understanding of calligraphy.

Perfection is an illusion. There is no such thing in the world we live in, yet it lives within our hearts and minds. Perfection is perception.

As for the one-paragraph train of thought format: whenever the urge to write occurs I tend to write down my thoughts as I think them -perhaps driven by the fear of not capturing the entirety of the thought?- and once the moment has passed I tend to make a point of only editing once I am in a similar frame of mind to ensure that the 'truth' [as cheesy and trite as this must sound] in the moment remains intact.

However, rules are meant to be broken, so any suggestion is always well-received. ;)
Thank you for reading, and I would love to read your work as well soon.

I am shocked that no one has reviewed this poem! It is beautifully written and the images and word choice is amazing. I like how the skin becomes your parchment and you write poetry there. Beautiful poem and quite sensual!

Thank you Karen for your words.
I have always believed that words when used right should be felt by the reader rather than merely read; be it a lover's caress or a broken heart, I feel I have failed unless my audience mentally experiences what I write.

I completely agree with you! Anything can be read but a poem should definitely be felt.
