The Trouble With Touch

The trouble with touch
Is wanting too much
Finger tips tingling
Trite hearts signaling

Your space in-between
Where feelings are seen
If taken one day
You lose your own way

The rush of desire
An embrace on fire
Sparks of connection
Human convection

As all isolate
Some suffer cruel fate
More virus distress
Of touchless duress

Sharing a fresh start
By staying apart
Resisting to touch
Now saves lives as such

Distancing does work
Recovery shall perk
Resources will align
When all forces combine

The best way to touch
Comes through in the clutch
All's said and done
Our world can be one
