the mere fact
that i existed
seemed to
drive your heart
and give you courage
to travel
an ocean of time to find me
just to touch me
just to breathe my breath
once

my secret innuendo® 
Touches deeper than words
i thought so too when i wrote it. i’m not quite sure how i was able to put it to words actually. in a fleeting moment
I’ve felt that way after a deployment.
thanks for visiting… glad you can relate

when i am touched, the words all write themselves.
Poignant piece, capturing the need for touch, for one love to another.
yes, although it can be beautiful for a time to feel it, touching it takes over 😉
