what is this fear
that we hold so dear
what is this desire
that never seems to tire
calling us, drawing us
closer together
daring us to
touch

what is this energy
between us, exposing us
causing us to feel
betraying our need
for each other
while in our minds
we resist
for reasons

what is this vision i see
makes me feel
things so real
i am momentarily taken
out of myself
and back again
with the memory
of you

to touch without the fear
of being touched
to face the fear of letting go
without a worry
to being alone
knowing you are always at home
in the oneness
of the universe

the fear of being complete
in ourselves enough
to touch emotionally
fluidly creative energy
biomagically transforming
our perspective
intimately
but alas, we are undone
spiritual invalidity
thus
i struggle to revive
what must be
the truth of me
to be complete emotionally
to learn to touch
in feeling that does
not distort the beauty
of receiving
passion in motion

emotional contact
