Tom Rutherford Poet Free verse

Your Touch

Silky soft
Intimate moment 
Your tender touch
Moves me 
Beyond description 

Love flows
Through your fingertips 
And into my warm 
Sensitive skin
Straight to my heart

Gentle caresses 
Across my body
Reflect your heart
And your steadfast love
Calming my wounded spirit

Lips to lips
Breast to chest
I feel every point
Of your body’s touch
Fanning the flames of my love

When you
Are far away 
Taking your touch with you
I feel incomplete 
And crave for you to be near

My heart
Leaps at the instant 
That your hand touches
My humble self
And I rejoice anew
