Yes, this commits one of those basic poetry crimes and is about love, but is it at all interesting to the reader anyway?
Title: Touch
I fail to ASTOUND you
but my words still pour forth
as a LIFETIME can exist
in the space
between your eyes and mine.
I am a mendicant of love
hands scarred in stigmata of passion,
drinking from this cup, bitter and sweet,
these hands creating music
to avoid reaching for that which they will never hold;
I can make love without touching --
keep smiling
laugh I pray
