Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

Reading this, I feel like I’m being immersed in a sensory experience of being embraced and touch in ecstasy by the life within and beyond the borders of my skin… good stuff 😊

Here I lay -

jewels at my side -

freshly bathed -

quiet and dry -

and yet they glimmer -

in the twilight summer sun -

facets like curls -

red and brown -

purring like kittens -

clawing at my body -

they already made their mark -

when I gave them life.
