Starved For Affection
Affection appears in many different ways..
A caress..
A warm embrace...
A kiss..
Holding hands..
Arms wrapped around one's shoulder..
Loving warm smile..
Distributing unconditional love..
Starved for affection I am..
Child I was..
Abundance of food existed..
Lack of affection existed..
As I hungered for affection..
Unwanted I felt..
Lost in my own reality..
Feeling unloved..
A caress
Warm embraces..
Kisses..
Holding hands..
Was indeed many of my fantasies..
Day dreams often flowed..
From childhood..
To adulthood..
Starvation of affection it was..
Wholeness I only imagined..
Since lack of wholeness there was..
It was a lovely hot summer's day..
Scorching hot sun..
With a gentle breeze..
I was walking on the beach..
The hot sand covering my toes..
Feeling the grittiness of the sand..
Upon both my feet..
A man..
Handsome ..
Accompanied by an amazing, loving, warm, genuine, smile..
Approaches me..
The rest is history..
Starved for affection ..
No more..
As I have found the love of my life..
A lifetime of embraces we will have..
Now I have a beautiful child..
My child..
Shall always receive an abundance of affection..
No limitations apply ..
