The Touching


Never

And always touching,

We have

Sublime union of minds.

But yet,

I desire physical closeness-

The scent

Of your dark hair under my nose,

The sight

Of your eyes bright with desire as Vulcan's sun,

The feel

Of your warm body next to mine,

The sound

Of your sighs as we come together in

The joining.

Just as the never touch says

We be

Of like minds,

The touching always tells me

We are

Of like hearts.
