T O U C H

I don’t know

how your face feels

yet

you have

travelled through my veins

left bumps on my skin

with your words

with your being

we are strangers

from different times

and different zones

yet

you make the world seem

less strange

you make me feel

like I make sense

you make

me feel easy

I have not touched snow yet

it seems

I will never touch it

because wherever I shall go

the cold shall melt

with your warmth

I don’t know

what it feels like

to be in your arms

and yet

you make me safe

with  your presence

I don’t know

what it feels like

your skin

against mine

whether it is smooth

or is rough

whether you are strong and tough

or fragile

yet

you make me feel adored

and they said

it is the touch

that creates magic

it is the touch that stirs the soul

but

you

make

touching

seem

overrated
