Touching Real
How should it feel, were I to touch
Places of you that I love so much?
How I should like to gently hold
A myriad of tenderness unfold.
Should I with courage bare
To show all that I care?
Would I allow you to see
Bittersweet transparency of me?
All of life’s cracks and knots
So many haves and have nots
And the vacant, empty lots
Layers of time hide all I can feel
One by one the hurts unpeel
Touch beneath for now I am real
Places of you that I love so much?
How I should like to gently hold
A myriad of tenderness unfold.
Should I with courage bare
To show all that I care?
Would I allow you to see
Bittersweet transparency of me?
All of life’s cracks and knots
So many haves and have nots
And the vacant, empty lots
Layers of time hide all I can feel
One by one the hurts unpeel
Touch beneath for now I am real
