Something More Than Just Skin Deep
I dare not tell you, just how much
I want to find that sacred place ..
Somewhere beneath the surface
of her skin ..
Where each one of those, sweet
honey hued, shy summer freckles
splashed so
very randomly across both cheeks
and of course,
that nose of hers, each choose to
hide in winter ..
Or indeed, just how much, I want
to take a running jump
and dive head first, into the pools
of deepest blue, those
she views each aspect of her entire
world through ..
And although, I have some way to go
Dear lord, I am
so grateful for my eyes, my fingertips
and for my tongue ..
Through each of which, I feel and see
and taste each day, a tiny piece of heaven ..
