Look but do not Touch

 

To seek for love, to touch, to hold, to cherish

natural feelings to express who we are and feel

But in a guilt ridden and fearful society

sex simmers beneath the surface to pollute

what is naturally a wonderful instinct

Eye contact, a glance of admiration or desire

is immediately misconstrued

A hug is seen as a prelude to something

dirty and sinister

We are afraid to love, we are afraid of love

Love is now enatngled with sex

We have connived to repress our emotions

to distort was is perfectly beautiful 

and ordained

leaving us impotent and poor in spirit
