 When i felt the scarred and abraded skin of unripened orange, 

it caused silent tremors in multiple pores of my flesh.
 
when i touched the cold skin of pale chipped marble, 
shivers of dormant jubilation made me smile.
 
when i caressed rough skin of unprocessed grey stone, 
feelings of utter disdain crept slowly through cellars of my blood.
 
when i felt the satiny skin of pure silk garment, 
a serene calm descended painstakingly over my persona.
 
when I touched the skin of crystal flowing mountain water, 
nostalgic memories flooded in domains of longing heart.
 
when I slapped the skin of languid grass blades, 
tingling sensations catapulted me to dizzy heights of ecstasy.
 
when I kneaded thoroughly the skin of unbaked dough, 
circulation of red blood increased by leaps and bounds in all regions of body.
 
when I licked the skin of sickening sweet chocolate candy, 
it sent spurts of energy to torn cells of anguished heart.
 
When I sipped nonchalantly elastically translucent skin of brown rum, 
Waves of pungent alcohol drowned me in webs of disaster sedation.
 
when I cuddled the furry skin of the striped leopard, 
I experienced overwhelming courage acting as my companion.
 
When I raised the lifeless skin of my beloved to the Creator, 
I felt like charring it first,  to have an everlasting scent of her divine grace
