what you need sometimes..........

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.
