untitled skin

O, the comfort of skin!

To awaken,
Beloved!

To tenderly touch the dream
and languish in its hours,
To dance inside the heart!
To Love again
and again!

To breathe the loam of earth
crawling with life,
To inhale the sweetness of ecstasy,
to bend in its light!

To lie softly in your Lover's gaze,
O, to be touched
like this!

Torments? Oh, no, *that* touch is never tormenting no matter how it torments and we ache from its after-affects. ;-) "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach

Skin, is after all, the

Skin, is after all, the sense of touch, of feeling. It's a pathway to the heart from the connection our minds make. Right? ~A "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach

You are so whole and perfectly special Anna, dear sister.

Ann of Norway Each word touches us, each image seduces us, each sense guides us into the world of earth and its motherly perfumes and sensations of dream-like flight when we find ourselves in harmony with the universe. Each poem you write has these elements of extreme beauty, powerfully expressed in the lay-out of your shape, the meanings reaching us from unseen sources of delight. You are the shape of the moon, the sun and all the planets, so whole and perfectly special Anna, dear sister. Ann XXOO
