touch it 2014

 

if you touch it too hard it goes away

 this is the nature of it

 how to handle it carefully

like nitro

gentle yet rough enough

how to hold it in your hands

and shape it into what you need it to be

 a risky combination

we dare to address

to take it inside to roll it over

 and touch it

 all to consume it

 taste it swallow it whole

 yet not set it off

 to possess it without destroying it

 what is or what it means

 tender enough to feel its love

yet love enough to make it respond

 I had it and embrace it

even if pursuing it

I am terrified I might lose it

after all
