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 ..

Very beautiful poem. Honest and from the heart. Everyone deserves love and affection. The child is the one who deserves your love the most. Your own child and your inner child. Love, Leanne...best one I have read so far, placed in my favourites.
