Something More Than Just Skin Deep

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 ..
