reawakened in love

with every touch,
this flesh and blood
soften and disappear
into an emptiness,
open to drink from love,
with every touch,
i shed layers
of stories
i had told myself
for too long,
with every touch,
this hardened shell
becomes a deep well
of intense emotion,

with every touch,
love caresses me
in a slow motion dance,
with every touch,
a new part of me
lying unused,
comes alive
all over again,
with every touch,
love holds me steady,
inviting me
to receive more,
more than i'd ever dreamed
or asked for,

with every touch,
i remember myself
as i feel this form
reawakened
in love.
