Beneath My Hand

I remember
Black Suede -
scented skin;
muscles - firm, rippling.
I feel the change
in facial structure
as you smile ...

beneath my hand.

Encircled by your warmth,
wherein our love resides;
I know your thoughts
and you sense mine ...

Placed upon your heart,
I feel passion roiling;
as lips draw near
feelings grow stronger ...

beneath my hand.

Hi PP,

This is a different angle for a love poem. I liked it a lot. One has to be original with love poems and most times true feelings allow one to be original - and yours is no exception.

Thank you!

Repetition of the 'beneath my hand' is very powerful as it creates a senuality and intrigue. It also keeps one in contact with the 'feelings' and the 'touches' of love. After all even holding hands is seen as affectionate. Yours goes way beyond with suggestions and reality.

lol  Maybe too far beyond??  Nina's imagination ran further when reading than mine did when writing I think!  ROFL  But now I can see why!  :pumpkin:

Well done.

Thanks!

Cathy
