I can’t keep from touching it

 

(date uncertain)

 

I can’t keep from touching it,

Fingers twitching to think

How it must feel,

How tender a place,

Stiff, yet yielding,

Drawing the sounds of joy

That sound like pain,

I can’t held but want

To touch it again

And again,

Make you want me

To do more with more

Than just my fingers,

To go deeper than

Just that place,

Which is really

The key hole to

The place

Where the real joy is,

I can’t keep from thinking

How soft that place is,

A cave with silken walls

That close around me

As I enter

And bring us both

Joy.
