soft words on a rainy night

words spoken like sweet balm,
could almost taste the tang of the mint,
feel the sticky of honey,
soft voiced sootheing,
save for the ones you caressed
and I hide the catch of my breath
when you held one word or other
in the flat of your hand.
Not teasing this...
more a subtle tasting of the mind,
and no, you never touched me...quite.
but I went to my sheets
aware of the skin
I so often take for granted,
scolded my foolish fancy,
but still shut my eyes
smiling.
