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!
