How

By 1stpoet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How How can I touch you, sheltered: hidden. Under cloak of sadness, raw from fear. How can I love you, lifeless, cold. Flames no longer burn dust remains. How can I heal you, crying, shaken. wounds run so deep I fall into your darkness How can I hold you, fragile, precious You must hold me with your soft touch How you touch me with eyes, on my words softness of senses thought devoid come to life My love on the page reaches, moving Embers now glow within your mind Your darkness recedes I work in your breath calmness prevails you heal from within I hold you forever within my own world reader, friend How I love you William Dawes Nov, 2000 copyright Written November 1st, 2000 © on Dec 20 2001 09:27 AM PST   0 • 8
