Listening to every heart

Just, Touch

Do not say you are
too busy
or that you have somewhere else
to be

All I ask
is that you just stay a moment
and touch the flesh
of me

for the return to you
of such a caress
would be unconditional,
heaven-blessed

Love.

Just, touch,
and find a willing soul
one that will meet your dreams,
walk with you along shoals.

Just, touch,
and find that harmony,
that sense of loss you’ve come to know,
just touch your heart in me.

In the quiet,
for I shall not speak,
find all that was,
though yet you seek…

and lay here now,
quiet with me,
for I anticipate much, in your
Touch of me.

Ahhh good morning Karilea!
This is wonderful...even our pets appreciate the human touch too.
Something that cannot be reproduced
yet such a simple act of comfort.

it takes soulful understanding
to know how to touch
and where to touch
inside

Beautiful wording Karilea, and taken both ways:
in the suit of a pet's love
or in the garb of a lover's understanding
touch is underapprecaited
and underdone.

Am a man without pets, but I'll tell you this Sunshine, if only humans were capable of unconditional love...

It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency.

My dog appreciated your choice of illustration...

Think I'll save it for a warmer night.

You can say the most treasured thoughts,
and highlight them with a picture that
fits perfectly...
