Touched Deeply

Sparks Fly

So long has it been

Since we touched

Or kissed

Intimacy forbidden at the moment

And missed

But to counter the inability

In creative ways

Emotional rays

Of closeness

And small displays

Of our affection

As we make an election

To wait more days

And though physicality is an emotional boost

I see you through a different view

As you amuse me in quiet conversation

And small acts of kindness

That make it easier

To mind less

When it comes to having patience

And be more incensed

By the sparks the fly

Between us

Thank you for reading my work! If you liked it, feel free to leave a heart.
