I WANT TO BE TOUCHED BY YOU
UC Poika


I want to be touched by you and feel my lips
on your hands as you stroke my arm and hold my gaze
when looking deeply within the stuff of our soul
to see my face in that mirror there for you are
the cause of my every thought as the days elapse,
eluding me, evading my fumbling grasp
and leaving me only to watch you slowly go
beyond my clutches to places where we part
what shall I do? despair and walk away
my head within my hands where my fingers hide
the pain in my eyes, my hope then lost though I am saved
for just a time as this and therein behold
the trampled flowery rose within its bed...
to take its life and morn instead its death?

i was able to understand the love between those 2 people. that love was powerful. but from my viewing it seemed that the girl didnt want to be with him. good poem!

I'm a hopless romantic so all that is said about love in this is pretty true at heart with philosophies held by the people that share this affliction. All in all I'm not a poet though so I can't be a valid judge of the rhythm and timing but the feeling inspired is one to which I can relate.

i didn't get the last sentence of your poem because it didn't flow through with the poem.
