More Than Common Senses
Photo by Rishabh Dharmani on Unsplash

A touch is a touch and can be more than enough

but a touch, touches more than the skin

It can deliver a punch

so much deeper within

.

.

It aches and it yearns

and must connect with another

it gives in return

with so much more to discover

.

.

It's boundaries manipulate

and can alter an outcome

It arouses and stimulates

bold and strong like a base drum

.

.

It can calm and entice

change the mood in the room

Inherently and precise

dispelling the gloom

.

.

Touch delights and entangles

raising more than just spirits

It jingles and it jangles

in moans so low, no one else hears it

.

.

A touch heals in ways, that nothing else can

using all of the senses together

It has the way of reaching into a man

comforting hearts in any season of weather

    Wow! This is a pretty solid take. Great read and concept, Kelli.

  • The power to heal or to harm, to comfort, arouse or devastate. But it's absence communicates abandonment, isolation, invisibility, insignificance & evanescence.

  • Loving this 💖💯😁
