May I touch you?Yes...you! (an old poem of mine.)

Contributed by Kay-P-M-Devenish on Thursday, 14th April 2005 @ 06:23:37 PM in AEST
Topic: DreamsandWishes

I don't want to touch you like

...a lover,

please don't think that's

what I want

to do,

I don't want to take

and I don't want to make

waves across the lake...of You.

I just want to touch you like... a mother,

gently

just as Mother Nature touches

on a tree.

I just want to feel your green,

smell your leaves,

feel your lean

and bend the way your boughs do...

(like a breeze that lingers through.)

I have seen your image there,

I n n o c e n t l y,

as I stare,

(poetry for me,)

poetry...

p o e t r y.

I don't want to touch you

like...an ogre,

I don't want to move you from

the reaching you engage,

I don't want to ripple even one ring on your pond,

(or anywhere beyond,)

not even from the creases

on your page.

But...I have fallen so in awe

of the words that you outpour

and now...

I long to touch you

as roses touch on sweet dew

gently

using one hand's trace,

oh so softly

with all grace

tenderly,

just once,

upon ...

your face.
