Skin Hair… <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Where else does the earth rise? <br /> <br />settle down with a fall, <br /> <br />cover with strand... <br /> <br />after other strand, <br /> <br />of hair curl, <br /> <br />loom adversely, <br /> <br />along the length, <br /> <br />along the breadth.... <br /> <br />of a man, woman <br /> <br />where it is delicate, where it is private... <br /> <br />pronounced an' concealed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />on the face above the eyes, <br /> <br />like a brush of feathers, <br /> <br />above the lip, <br /> <br />a moustache… <br /> <br />eloquently trim, <br /> <br />tweezed eye browses, <br /> <br />hair flock grace the neck, <br /> <br />onto the back. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Along the shin, <br /> <br />Along the skin, <br /> <br />Smooth touch rendered, <br /> <br />Chill rising the hair follicles, <br /> <br />Desire burn, <br /> <br />In the shower wet with soap, <br /> <br />Silk fiber strand, <br /> <br />Run through fingers of a lover, <br /> <br />Relishing the sensations erect, <br /> <br />Tiny hair, almost as fur… <br /> <br />Souring along the back, <br /> <br />Trough upon the skin, <br /> <br />Collect scent of a love scene. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The skin here dark, <br /> <br />Chocolate born, <br /> <br />Wind caress these, both hair an' skin <br /> <br />Creature so supreme, <br /> <br />Conquer all but this, delicate <br /> <br />Feather brush of skin against skin, <br /> <br />Hair rise here thin, <br /> <br />Space of a love gaze seen, <br /> <br />Hair on skin….<br /><br />Merlin Mwaura<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/skin-hair-2/
