True Touch Poem by Edward Iacona

TRUE TOUCH
Edward Iacona


I know what it's like to feel her breath
Blending into mine.
I know what it is to hold her close
As our hearts and arms entwine.

I know her voice and her laughter
That makes her eyes glisten and shine
Even when I try to please her
By making a little rhyme…

I know the magic of her songs
When she sings them in my ear;
So softly, sweet and gentle
For I alone to hear.

I can feel her with me everywhere
And this may sound absurd…
The strongest impulse I feel from her
Is when I am touched by her loving word.
