Skin
Soft but not shaky.
Hurt you?
Don’t try to make me.
But if I do
You know how to heal.
You’re always eager
To let me reveal…
***
You hold the good parts in
You’re my skin.
Always gentle,
But never, never too thin.
***
Ready – for the touch?
Like it?
Can’t get too much.
Knows how to handle
Many kinds of attack
And let the water
Roll right off my back…
***
You hold the good parts in
You’re my skin.
Always gentle,
But never, never too thin.
***
Colour – it changes often.
Calloused?
Knows how to soften.
Whether you’re pale
Or exotically brown,
You’re well liked
All over the town….
***
You hold the good parts in
You’re my skin.
Always gentle,
But never, never too thin.
