do this

parse me

parse my body

with your touch

name me

form your desire

into words for me

make a new language

name your touch

lips tongues fingers shoulders

touch me with your words

tenderly and then

not that way

Thanks much for reading and commenting. It means much to me.

Thanks, ZB. I hope you can make those memories real again.

Lorraine, thank you. No, never published this one. That's a cool idea, though.

I finally read all your work and must say your prose blows me away... So many come here to scream from the anger pulpit for the indignation the world has shown them... Your thoughts are the music that goes around in my head, I really can feel the connect to subject... I can't help but wonder why you shelf some of these thoughts for so long
