A heart made of sand

I stand naked infront of him...
waiting for the touch of his scalpel
to move innocently on my porous skin
and give a finite shape to my curves.

I see myself alive in his eyes...
mesmerised by the beauty of his gaze
moulding the very heart of me
the very heart made of sand.

I feel his breath onto my body...
my heart beats dissolve into his rhythm
creating a symphony out of a life
like a wind kissing dunes of sand.

A last touch of love, of knife
i feel as if i have just become alive
but i still lay in his hands...unfinished
and i lay still in his hands...feeling complete.

Author notes

The feelings of an unfinished sculpture for her sculptor....
