TOUCH

I may not touch only yearn;
senses dream, ache and burn.

Feeling a bliss that may not exist,
I know longings I must resist.

A need so deep touches heart and head,
fueled by a desire that will never be bed.

A love has grown that may not be shown,
I know it well ... it is my own.

Hi CayCay. This is a wonderful poem about, not only desire, but also strength and character. Many will give into these yearnings and regret it, but to stay away and respect the boundaries shows great character. In a few short lines you have touched on a subject that many can relate to. Very well written, my friend. I enjoyed reading this one.... Robert.

Strangest thing, Cake. At first blush, this all sounds so familiar. Yet, taken as a whole, it is fresh and insightful. Good job, gal!
