Touch the Heart

Your touches do not touch me.
What's a touch if it doesn't touch the heart?
Rubbings just remain skin-deep.
They do not penetrate the skin.
Flesh to flesh relation is impulsive.
Animal-like; impromptu!
No reason; no logic; 
No conscience; no consciousness...!
Learn to touch the heart!
Converse like humans!
Smile; laugh; talk; walk;
Life will turn an art of love.
Then start touching.
What's a touch if it doesn't touch the heart?
