Skirting Defenses

Tying tongue, hands, lips
and leaving eyes to record
every movement of your forearm
and the stories displayed there.

Skirting defenses you got so
far under my skin that I shall
never entirely excise you
from my soul. Utterly
unnerving and extremely
courteous you break hearts
so cleanly, leaving no
passion of debris
to betray your prescence.
