Gentle brush
feather touch of skin
or silk on skin
to remind me

I am desired

No reason
but wanting us

Why do I have to ask?

Absence
no fonder heart needs
wait on under breath
mutterings you
can not hear
from there

I reach
but fingers and feelings
far too short to grasp
comfort

end in
cupped palmed
begging


Touch me?

wondering if my touch
is as empty
as my hands

Well done my friend.  Does desire exceed our grasp and are feelings limited to tactile ecnounters?
This is Monday and I really didn't want to think this hard ... now I gotta go contemplate my navel again ...

With poetry like this, your hands should never be empty...and this, Sir, shall fill many a heart...

well done...

Why do I have to ask?

Why, indeed?
Touch is the one thing
that reminds us why we're here.

Enjoyed this.

If this poem were a sound, I would hear it as a trains distant whistle through a dark, quiet night.

Others must give too, to keep us from always coming up empty handed. For this is the result of longing from a very abundant heart.
Sometimes people become comfortably numb. Leaving others to think they've nothing to offer. I don't believe that in you C. No way!

Sincerely,
Regina

Great poem, Capt.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Greetings once more, Ron!  I do miss your poetry -- just been called to Life's attention lately...  Once more, you have expressed so much with so little -- encapsulating an urgent need for acknowledgement and Love with but a few carefully crafted descriptions, true to "The Ron Style".  Well done (and I'm still waiting to hear when your collection of poetry is due out so I can buy the first autographed copy!)
