Verdades

I won't lie,
I have no experience with holding hands,
These hands have never been bruised by desire from a lover's palms,
But could you trust how clumsily they try to hold on tight,

I won't tell a lie,
I am no expert with my lips,
Yet somehow, I can sew mine seamlessly into yours,
I wonder why you do not pull back in fright,

I tell no lies,
My fingers have no practice with traversing the contours of a body,
Yet, I am able to trace the valleys of your pleasure,
Shouldn't you have already taken flight?

A star shot through your night sky,
That was me falling for you,
I wonder if you think I'm lying,
Even though we both feel this is right.

That tentative, awkward first love… you captured it well.

BTW: You're nom de plume: did you mean "deos fortioribus adesse" meaning "The gods are on the side of the strong?"

[Deos Fortioribus Adesse]

Thank you. And yes it does, you know your Latin. :)

I know a few phrases. Mostly, I have to look them up. But, your auto spell check corrected "Deos" to "Does"

[Deos Fortioribus Adesse]

Oh my. I never realised. Thank you :)

You're welcome. Auto spell check is often incredibly inconvenient.
