Your fingers
pressing into my
skin
soft but relentless
goading
exploring
touching
feeling
tirelessly
working
on those muscles
that have
tied themselves up
tightly
into knots
from
hours and hours of
sitting on
the computer
typing
straining
my neck arched
my shoulders tense
not knowing
relaxation
for days on end
and then your
fingers
sinking
deep into my
muscles
willing the aches
away
allowing me
to breathe deeply
losing myself
in an oasis
of nothingness
for an hour
your fingers
subtly
bringing
home the message
that me time
is important
your fingers
doing all
the listening
and the talking
stroking
sweeping
pulsing
your fingers
magically
melting
the stress away
leaving
me
renewed
and rejuvenated
your fingers
the powerful
antidote
to my hectic
lifestyle
your fingers
the instant remedy
for my
pain.
It is so pleasant to receive a deep massage and release the tensions that have wrapped themselves around those stiff and hurting muscles. Glad you were able to get one.
Now I definitely want one too. Great poem.
Thanks, Myrna. I hope you’ve scheduled that massage of yours
