Blind Love

Oh to be touched
        she has changed the way she feels
with caring compassion
      about oleander
with knowledge of healing
      and coco butter
with respect
      jars of radiance
a partnership to heal weariness and fear
      kohl around her eyes
relax
      the muskiness of fox
unlock the healing powers of the unconscious
      the weight of her body against yours
to look into another’s eyes
    sharing secrets
and feel his hands on your body
    feeling all the little bones of her spine
to know that you are safe
    sometimes doing it twice
accepted without judgment
    feet bare
your own comfort level
    a sense of quiet
to be touched
    leaning into her sacrum
but not normally touched
    a warm hug
in places of pain
    sensual risings
or intense fear
    silky thighs
trust
    the body never forgets
and being vulnerable
    his gentle tenderness as he turns her over
tension gone
    weeping for all the miles behind you
a poem written
    your neverborn child under your hands
in the deep tissues of your body
    a frozen scapula – press harder
unclothed
    her head resting on yours
connected
    knowing she will let you sleep
oh, this is...
            to be touched
