Sunday Scribblings - Skin

for all that its been through
(the scars of breaks
and childbirthing aches)
my skin i give
to you

if not to have
then to hold
enfold
within
your skin

again
again
and, yes, again

*and, yes, again*
i LOVE the ending.
the repetition,
the suggesting of endlessness,
the need to be held
over and over.

great poem!

Our skins may not be as perfect as that on show in magazines, but they can be had and held, as it were, there is a realisticness to the beauty you expressed here. I think that's what I'm trying to say.

Once again you've hit the bullseye of the topic and, in a few extremely well chosen words, created a complete and perfect expression. I especially like this..."if not to have~then to hold~enfold~and cover with your skin." Awesome :)
