to write from that phrase, right?

Fingertip Touches
Virginia Salter

fingertip touches
that’s all he ever really
meant to use
yet every time
he took his disciplining
hand away
a rainbow’s colors
marked the day
in agony of memory
recordings of
what was his ‘love’
he couldn’t shove
his feelings deep
they’d only creep
to mind again
leaving pangs of pain
tears of rain
horrid stains
of lost control
he could not cajole
away
