A little note to say Thank You and

Be tender please

Careful with my soul you hold in your hands

Dance with me

Ever so softly

For me, this is perfect

Gently moving in kind

Hearts beating: one two, one two

I appreciate you, here with me

Just the two of us

Keep my soul tucked safe in your pocket

Let me move you

My lips, your eyes; my pen, your lips

Naked and raw

Obscene really, and yet here you are for the

Pieces of me laid bare

Quaking under your gaze, letting you

Read me mercilessly

See me all the way to my bones and tell me,

This experience we share, this to-and-fro

Undressed completely, your

Voluptuous lips around the word-shaped pieces of my shelled self

Was it good for you? What worked?

X-ray of me on the lightbox for your diagnosis

Yearning here for your feedback, but today maybe make it

Zephyr-like for my silly pen-inflated ego

~o~

Thank you for reading!

Editing to nip back and add this link - it's been in my head since I posted, so now it must be in yours, too. Them's the rules.
