"They met in the night."
A Story of Delicacy
They met under the covers,
This couple in the night.
He and she barely touched,
But their subtle intensity
Was intoxicating.
With her fingers, she
Followed the lines of his life that
Were etched in his hands.
She spent a half a hour just on the
Right hand alone.
The touch lifted her.
Then she went to his left hand. It
Too told his story.
She felt it in the hollow of his palm
And in the strength of his fingers.
She was reminded of what she
Already knew about him.
Their lips almost met,
Their bodies almost entwined,
But intentionally they did not.
Magnetism ensued.
Hands heeded the passion.
He responded
By placing her hand
Just where it needed to be.
She did the same.
