When People Touch

it's been proven
yes, it's confirmed
woven in our senses
long past ages learned
is the importance of touch
something needed so much
not to be used as a crutch
but just the loving feel of touch

touch doesn't have to be
skin to skin
nor does touch have to be
kin to kin
and neither does touch
have to be thought as sin
for the kindest touch
is that within

if my thoughts are to touch
upon you
on what you say, or
what you do
or if my touch of word
can carry you through
please accept my touch
as I give it to you

a letter might touch
your voice says much
a written note or two
will more than make do
if flowers are sent
or a kind word spent
then we know feelings are lent
and we know what one meant

share…
share your care
take a dare and write
cast away shadows with your light
touch and be touched
give, and receive much

for every action, a reaction in kind
especially when you touch one's mind
but when you touch one's private heart
you've given of love that will not depart

so if I reach out and softly touch you
then know that you have touched me, too…

and I am exactly that..
touched...

Wonderful writing, Dear Lady. I must have missed this one last time.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

Dear Lady,
if I said you fill up my senses it would not be enough...so I will simply say you move me when you touch.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

My friend, this in incredibly lovely in every way.  It's a keeper!     Yes, there are so many ways to touch, if we'll only do so.

And if your poetry touches me ... then what?

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