Touch Me

(Touch me, a sensual display,  your closed eyes, betray.) You look at me with embarrassment awkward and shy, from my expression filled face. Not use to seeing naked emotion, or the lines that loneliness can trace? (Truth willnot stay hidden,  often times comes unbidden.)   The intensity of my eyes reflect a depth, a pain filled experience I would not repeat. The wonder in my touch, amazement, that you haven't made a hasty retreat. (In each moments breath,  words that bring birth or death.)  To many I've seen, hide in the shadows the world they live, devoid of expression. Their inner light dim and weak, spirit compromised, by this suppression. (Somewhere within the shroud,  feelings  would speak aloud.)  In you I find an essence unscarred a confidence that nurtures my soul. No pretense of being more or less, "needing" no one to feel  "whole".  (As darkness consume's the light,   so to, secrets kept from sight.) You take nothing away, that's not given back as we bask in this emotional flame. I would live life, in the here and now but not in any one, dimensional plane. (Balance is a measure of extremes,  weighted scales destroy the dream.) Perhaps this is what you fine different, the depth of this moment's rappore. No shields or walls to keep you out, the "experience" leaves you with more. (Within the fruit, hide's a seed,  will it grow, once freed?) I don't know or have the answers just another actor on lifes stage, who struggle's like you, to learn my role,  hoping we're both on the same page. (With a grasp we take a chance,  crossing the line of cicumstance.) If you have to, call me different the imagined, someone not to be, a dream, you expect to wake from  but for now, reach out...... "touch me". (Imagination can become the ideal,  obscuring the physical, which is real?)
