Communication

Can't imagine a world without you,
One where the simple touch
Means nothing.
Messages of the heart ignored. 
Unheard by the one who
Needs to hear it most.
Ignorance is not bliss,
Considering, human pride
All too often leaves 
Things of importance unsaid;
Ignoring instinct and emotion.					
Override turtle tendency;
Never wait to say, "I Love You!"

Janet, the last line eloquently sums up all the precedes it. Your poem addresses truth, and does so with a sweet, gentle touch. Nice!

The allure of your words was like being offered a cold lemon aid from the local stand set up by the neighbor kids, refreshing with a sweet after taste. Emile. #7

Lemonade? So now I'm a bit tart too?? LOL. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the rating. PS I love lemonade stands from the neighbor kids. It should be a part of everyone's childhood. ;)
