Fragile Connections

 

Blue veins criss-cross across, sketch life’s pattern

through me – in and out of heart muscle, skim

the smooth surface, detour areola,

outline nipple, as they accentuate

the fullness of my breasts. Follow their path.

 

With kisses, plot their course from beginning

to end.  Find safe passage to my deepest

desires. With the tips of your fingers,

find their source and explore the depths of me

mapped out for your adventure; a journey

over the soft hills and down the valley–

an entrance in to the cradle of life.

 

Relish this fragile connection between

we two, both travelers, both familiar

with the treasure held within this body.
