Trust Me

Trust Me

Shut your eyes

Close them gently 

And stay as you are

Place your hands

Together

And do not move

You must trust me

I want to know you

With eyes closed

So I can place my hands 

Upon your skin

And learn your face

By touch

With palms on your cheeks

Caress the soft skin 

Of your face

The smooth stubble 

Of your cheeks

The bristles of the beard

On your chin

Trace the outline

And curve

Of your lips

With my thumbs

An archers bow

Slightly parted

Waiting for

Cupid's kiss

Use fingertips

Over the bridge of your nose

Across eyebrows

Softly on eyelids

A tickle of eyelashes

Keep your eyes closed

To your forehead

Haughty and proud

Relaxes under the gentle

Touch of my hands

My fingers on temples

Feel the pulse 

Of a heart within the man

Run my fingers along the crescent moons of your ears

Hold delicate earlobes 

Between finger

And thumb

And feel the hollow

Underneath

Glide fingertips 

Through your hair

Short and soft

It pricks without pain

Until my hands

Find each other

Again

Now open your eyes

Slowly

Trust me
