iv. touch

touching her was something chaste,

for her fingers trailing up his skin felt like a ladybug, pitter-pattering up his arms,

like a soldier, caressing his teary-eyed lover's face for the last time,

like hot wax that burned him, yet he found himself going back to,

like a blind man, fumbling with buttons as he undoes them, 

like an Aphrodite, running her hands through her hair,

like the crashing of ocean waves against a petite body,

like everything heavenly and everything deadly,

he could not resist but cosset her every time he witnessed her allure.
