ODE TO THE TRUE TOUCHERS

Folder: 
JOURNAL #20

we touch in such frenzy

yet fight in the calm

languishing in waters that

appear tepid

though our passions are hotter

than napom

you devour me with the rampant

hungers of your mind

I drink your words in with but

that of my thirsting eyes

we both know that I shall hold

you for a time yet  unknowingly you

warn me of your penchant for wondering

through means of side long underline

and of that I should be well advised

I hardly think that we will last for

very long

as thats hardly ever been for me

the common lay of the cards

but the length we do last

shall be utterly spectacular

to recall

though the eventual but necessary

parting so terribly hard

now, come

my for the moment friend

let me see your latest hand

as I've always loved best to behold

the hands of true touchers.............
