Handle With Care
By safewrite
Finding excuses Reasons to touch A fancy new pen in my pocket A new ring, your bright sweater – All become pretexts for contact That we are both otherwise Too shy to make And I blush at each Subtle caress And you flush when I dare To make some small dent In our wall of reserve All of this tells us More than words: Here is someone we find Increasingly interesting Someone with whom Such contact is Not taken lightly Someone to whom this is not casual at all. In a world of indifferent intimacy, We see another Who feels respect for even the possibility Of that kind of tender trust. Written November 13th, 2002 © on Mar 04 2002 09:45 AM PST 0 • 8
