Spider Fingers

For Austin.

Your face is half soaked in shadows
giving wear to its paleness.
Your hands touch her so gently,
dancing on her neck
fingering her heart strings with pure grace.

You've drawn in your legs
you've closed tired eyes.
Smiles flirt with you thin lips.
Your neck, you've curved
to the sound of your love,
playing softly, experimenting
with the love held happy
in your lap.

The illustration that your words paint into my skull are beautiful, my friend. The description, the profundity in your words is amazing. Each line dances along into the next; the flow is very artfully done. I can think of nothing but praise for this piece. I did notice a slight spelling error (or maybe not?) in the sixth to last line, but other than that, everything is perfect.

Very beautifully done!
