binding
unchanging 
as natural as can be
covering outer layers 
this hide is what I need..
holding
molding
loving me free..
wrapping me tight 
tough yet flexible 
your love - my delight.. 
protective 
my warrior 
you are my might..
no barriers between us 
heart to heart we connect 
skin to skin 
we have grown 
flesh to flesh 
mine to behold 
no other skin I’d rather know..
