The Touch of Being Untouchable

Breathe to the north with eyes Filled with empty deep-blue skies Traveling just east of my chest Where you shall find my brokenness In the cries of a black bird That seals my whole-world without words Listen for the southern touch of lips While caressing the softness of pink sips Swallowing every particle of a flowing moon That gasps at the intimacy caught by the spoon Touch me without the sense of feel Cover up what I cannot reveal Unchain your eyes From the northern blue skies

Mark, we have to see what we can't see.. does that make sense to you..lol Right now, i'm traveling with the rhythm of my chest... a little broken... I like the line... a touch without feel... unchain a slow motion dance... I think, we all gasp for more than we can't touch,, but can feel... enjoyed your poem..thank you for stopping by..always..pd
