The beautiful thing about hugs

The beauty of hugs, Is that we are often given them, When we least deserve them, So, the next time we might feel more deserving of them, We might even find we no longer want to live in a world without them, Unless we are unlucky and have an inborn aversion to them, Or do not have a romantic bone in our body and only see sex, As the reason for them. Hugs spontaneously given show we care, And while sex is something most of us desire, That makes us feel alive, Even in old age, If you never get a hug after sex, Then no matter how much you desire, It may be better to take a cold shower, As that is not the right kind of sex, If you are a hopeless romantic, Or aspire to be one. Not easy for anyone, In a world where it is hard to trust anyone, And most believe romance to be dead, But if you look at the go to site for aspiring poets, There are poems there that will bring tears to the driest eyes, And give one, a case of romantic sighs. That will open your eyes to a world that hungers for more hugs, And less sex that only ends with shrugs instead of hugs.

excellent ink David and I love hugs at any time - I always put 'hugs at the end of a comment as we never know the situation of the reader, especially those that are isolated and poetry soup is their life line (some emotional poems make me feel i need a hug there and then!!) , hugs jan xx
