Touch Love
Touch Love
Touch my lips,
And my mumblings
Become coherent words
With which to worship
You.
Touch my eyes,
And I see you
With a passion
That terrifies
Me.
Touch my fingertips,
And my hand
Interlocks with yours,
To hold us, tightly gripped,
Together.
Touch my heart,
And I am yours
For ever.

Hi Steve, great poem - I know exactly what you mean, which is always a plus in my book. Similarly could understand Langston Hughes, Wonderful poems. As it happens I had heard of langston, but not read anything by him. As it happens I am a Jazz person and like to capture this is some of my poems.
I thought that your But, Butt, Butt poem was interesting. Look on my blog. I wrote a poem about a big woman, on a train. Though from a very different perspective to you, I think. It's called Nintendo DS - Light.
Oh, see full version of My Hands Were Made Strong
