Skin-to-Skin

Poetry that examines human nature, and takes a step back from previous political works.

Skin-to-skin

Skin-to-skin, our hearts are kin.
Skin-to-skin, our lips share more
than secrets.
Skin-to-skin, I've long since
surrendered; my heart is yours,
do with it what you will... My skin,
your skin, the oceans of your eyes
set me adrift, like a doomed Greek
adventurer. Skin-to-skin... I can feel
their envy, but you know that no
religion, no law will stop me!
Because, any decree that begs the
differ of me being who I was meant
to be, is pure lunacy! Our bodies
are married, skin-to-skin, with no
regard for their oppressive laws.
Skin-to-skin...my skin, his skin,
melding. Where do I began?
