into this world we’re born –

craving affection –

warm caress,

open arms,

love…

and as we walk along life’s journey

we search for that – connection –

eyes that meet,

glance shared,

confirmation of mutual admiration…

yet –

it seems –

that if that touch,

that – embrace –

falls outside the paradigms of social acceptance –

we push away,

close doors,

retreat…

why is it – 

my friend –

my feelings invade your – right?

my need exceeds your – allowed?

i have only everything to give to you –

sunlight on a cloudy day –

care more than all of life’s unconcern –

and love –

pure as fire,

real as touch –

i only want to be that which you need –

all of want –

more than much!
