I stretch to touch you
fingers quiver
achingly
they tenderly caress
becoming as one with you
your lips
slightly parted
allow my reaching touch
with an audible sigh
almost like a protest song
combating ghosts
I connect with you
beneath the sheen of paint and powder
and oh, you are beautiful
inside and out
although you think not
don’t go
stay with me
allow me to reach you
where no one before has touched you
sensually

If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

Many thanks, Lori. I have the most tender feelings whenever I decide to write one.

Wow, this is quite a compelling beginning, dear Jerry.

I agree with Lori, these words are tender gems.

Many, many thanks to you, Margherita, for your kind and generous words. Sometimes the inner you comes out, and when it does there is strength in love words.
