Touch Me

How can I begin to say… to tell… to bring forth from lips so long sealed, the silent shiver your touch reveals. How can I give voice….. to the sigh held, so tight inside to the fearsome fear of longing, the silent shiver of momentarily belonging. How can I, how can I, speak; to the gaps that your touch leaps, to the simple silvery spaces ……… filled by your fingers traces. Should I? Could I? Will I tell? of all the many and varied hells…. that the loss of your touch takes me to? Or just enjoy the momentary spark of me and you?

Your words provide clear details of the longing and the memory of certain touches and moments. The tone is perfect as is the questioning nature of the read. Very well composed. Michael
