Grateful ...Soft                                                    

by sloanranger

I touch your face,  gratefully...

soft, you sleep in repose.

I trace your cheek, your chin,

across your chest

Upon your breast

I lay grateful, still, our eyes closed

I smile - your maleness strong,

I drink the scent of you

within... while

my fingers trail along

each line... soft,

blessing each and every one,

grateful even...

for the knife

that gave you back

your life.
