Somewhere... out there...

the human body-
such warmth...
such power
a single touch
and i am healed-
cleansed
of emotional pain
a tender embrace
and the chains
that bound my heart
are melted away
a touch of acceptance-
a touch of love
for life without
touch
is not life at all-
a mere existance
in a lonely
and frightening world

*blinks*  Oh wow....   This is very, very good...and I agree, you have hit the nail on the head with it...Now I"m off to send it as a card..Thankyou so much!

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

I agree with everyone, I like the way you put it.

There are enough colours in the world,
To paint your own dreams,
You won't get them,
Till you try.

Vicky~
This is wonderful.
You stirred lots of thoughts.

We are all more -
because someone touched us.
Lovely.
