While I'm writing
I miss him in private
press him firmly and gently
against me
make him surrender
to my hands
to the blissful all
also feel him while I'm reading
and make him feel that
we are intimate friends
Words are nothing
if they don't touch
Contact is nothing
not intimacy
without a thought
Thoughts are channels
giving direction to our lives
and making us feel
what we feel, feel
that we are not alone
