Explain Touch

To share is to anticipate hurt,
To watch another not receive 
What you offer to them freely.
To touch is to take without concern,
To know exactly what you need
Without questioning another’s view.

I touch her smoothness
And excite her with my fingers.
We stand in a doorway in a shadow
My back is towards the university hallway,
My eyes face her lips and we kiss.

To not share is to accept defeat,
To lose a battle that gives growth.
To not touch is to abandon experience,
To know exactly what you need
But never willing to take to succeed.


Author notes

In loving and expressing our love, we do find victory in life, therefore when we do not have the courage to display our love from within, we are emotionally defeated.

Let me know what you think

    Your words have an ability to touch whoever reads them. This is so simply put that it takes my breath away with the honesty of the emotions. I don't know how I missed it before.

    I like how it doesn't rhyme.
    Honestly this is the first piece I've read on love that DOESN'T rhyme.
    I like it a lot.

    Our two styles differ in many ways, but in some other way I can still relate to this.

    Well done.

    A touch whether physical or over the miles, one must express the love they have within. What a soft moment you share with us here, and a message that resounds with Truth.

    Sometimes you just have to reach out. It can be difficult, but if you want it, it's okay to ask nicely...with a gentle kiss. Then you're having a different sort of conversation.
