Delicate promise

your fingers trace a path 
down my spine light as a breeze 
yet stirring something deeper
it’s not just the sensation of your touch
but the way it feels 
as if you’re reading my skin
mapping the contours 
of my very being
each brush against my spine 
sends a ripple of warmth through me
igniting something quiet but urgent 
your touch is both 
a question and an answer
a delicate promise that lingers
hanging between us like a breath 
waiting to be exhaled
time stretches in the space 
between your fingertips and my skin
the world narrowing 
to this single electric connection
