I approach in prints

Fingerprints in swirls

Press my patterns

Into your shoulder blades

Lotus tattoos illuminate the base of your skull

Where dreams breathe

On the nights when sanctuary displays through touch

Tracing spine trance

While

Lip prints in cupid bow

Complement the curve of your jaw

Dyeing your dimpled smile with blush

Languid and unhurried

While

Heart prints in resilient rhythm

Caress your rib’s cage

Compelling

Soul prints

In ink between your dancing fingers and mine

Playing cat’s cradle with a thousand words

You add your prints

Between us

There is poetry

This was a beautiful, sensual, intimate look at touching and how good it is for the soul. I am sure it could be taken in many different ways, but this is how I saw it. Intimacy does not always have to involve sex. It is a moment of recognition between two people. This was so so lovely. I really enjoyed reading it!

dear Kitty... your poetry is exquisitely penned.
To me, poetry stirs the beauty that shines like a
beacon to everyone. I must look up “ Cats Cradle”.
I feel the Romance of your words. truly, Pat

Gorgeous! I really, really love "soul prints/ in ink between your dancing fingers and mine". The words are so saturated with images, I almost see them more than read them.

This poem is just gorgeous, lovely and sensual. The imagery and the soft flowing feeling I got while reading this made me feel lost in another world on a cloud of love and peace...I shall reread this again :)

superb imagery as always -

"Dyeing your dimpled smile with blush
Languid and unhurried
While
Heart prints in resilient rhythm
Caress your rib’s cage
Compelling
Soul prints" - this is poetry indeed!!
