The Touch of Love
By
Donald L. Vasicek

The breath of lavender sweeps me
into microcosms of you. I touch
it’s delicate blossoms and feel your
smooth face. I smell it’s majestic
columns and see your strong
eyes. I feel it’s soft sharpness and
tumble in your hair. I see it waving
in the wind and hear you whispering
your magic in my ear. I am gone.
I am gone. I will not return to what
I knew life to be before our lips
touched and we exploded into love.

“Listen…”

If you listen to people, they will tell you stories that can effect the way you think. If you watch people talk and listen to yourself, you will hear stories that cause your consciousness to go to a higher level. Which would you rather do, listen to others or listen to yourself?
