Rub Me


a heart is made
of the finest crystal
the kind
you have to hold
but can quickly
lose its luster
sat upon the shelf
of behold
you can rub it
with soft words
but touch
is all it can feel
action of the proof
of your love
the only way
it is real
it makes
a special shine
and it doesn’t take
too much
and will only glisten
in the hands
of a tender touch

"I have already paid for all my future sins."  Sade...(King of Sorrow)

1slick lady,
Nice write. Just so you don't get rubbed the wrong way.

*sigh* to be touched by the hand of love...this is so beautiful that it shines pure like the crystal that awaits the tender touch. Beautiful. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Pardon me while I dust myself off!

Your work shines, lady. I see great use of metaphor and much thought in the construction of your poetry these days...
enjoying it much!

Very well done.  One of your very best works

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
