I’ve no reason
To wallow in this silence
Of our usual nothing of mean
As we talk and pretend
The things said
Indeed are weighted
With love’s intent
or need not be said
for that would be pandering
to insecure of me
and show of weak.

such a waste of time
you say.


Still I am here
Straining to feel
Just one touch in Braille
As you might want to read
The things written on my skin
The things etched in my marrow

So much the like of these empties
Is the snow and how I drift
In living what I have chosen.

though in attempt it
is frozen on this page
and lacks the lines or notes
to make it heard

I have no reason
Still I am in tactile need.

Please, touch me?

If knowing I read
and responded
will exact a touch in kind...

then know...

Aye, Captain, a good read...
and may I wish you
a Promising New Year...

============================

hearing you...loud and clear...feeling you too....

ya know what the moth always says...
why ask why???

missed reading you poet sir.

Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past?
With this crutch, its old age and wisdom, it whispers no ... this will be the last.

Touch is the essence, the warmest expression of the connection.
This poem touched me.

Sunshine: Thank you dear friend for the read and the thoughts... I know you know..

JM... Why ask Why...good question..but sometimes why is the only question that one can find.. appreciate your reading and your thoughts...

Gem: Sometimes the knowing isn't enough for others... and the need is seem as weakness that can not be accepted.. thanks for dropping in...

Duncan... Bud...if I wrote a piece of your mind today...you have my sympathies. Nice of you to drop by...and wasn't sure I was going to write anything today or anyother day for that matter...but glad you enjoyed.

Midnite... yes there is more in a touch that is meant and from the heart than a thousand words...

Ron,

Very touching. The other side of the coin is that sometimes the knowing isn't enough because that produces a kind of fear that someone eventually 'better' will come along who could be trusted with ....all....make sense?
( in part) then there is the difficulty of having a growing relationship, when one is shut down...


Hugs to you, and if I had a kissy cheek little guy like Serenity with my Webtv, I'd give you one on the other cheek.....
just for all the great poetry you share with us....and for touching us so deeply with your extraordinary poems....

Warmest regards, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

There is no sense like touch.
Of that we need so much.
From birth to death and yond.
It soothes as a magic wand.

You create a vivid picture!!  Thank you. KJ

Your words are sketched from deep inside...
Feeling it deeper than the skin ...deeper than the bone. Very powerful write.


I hand you....my touch

This one I know, into my very bones. *S* I can assemble the facades that resemble normality... but nothing can erase the need for the touch of another.

Excellent work, cpat... may your new year be a happy one!

I really am in complete awe of this, what an excellent read this is.....Happy New Year


I sing to life
To it's tragic beauty
To pain and strife
Let all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I lived through it all

your words reach to the center and identify the need quite clearly--touch, the most sensual form of communication--enjoyed!! Happy New Year!!

Sigh. Such yearning here. (You'd expect a sigh from me, right???)

Ah - this person doesn't deserve you!

Enough, I'm going to grumble.

This was like seeing someone out of the corner of your eye, someone beautiful,

Cpat Hair...Touching poem.Thanks for sharing...Paul
I may be wrong Ron but my interpretation is that you write of loneliness.
