Touching you

\nEach evening, when it’s time for bed, you kiss the Moon goodnight;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 The morning comes and you embrace the sun.
\nI wish that I was in the sky, a source of global light,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Then you’d kiss me instead of anyone.
\nAnd when it rains I’d be the rain and trickle down your face;
\nThat last delicious raindrop that stays lingering in place.<\/p>\n
Each day when you head off to work your feet caress the street,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Though maybe that’s now quite the place for me.
\nOr having lunch sat in the park, I wish I was the seat,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 When you sat down my thoughts would wander free.
\nAnd in the snow, the snowflake that you capture with your tongue
\nTo be your taste of winter would make me forever young.<\/p>\n
You stand to watch a rainbow, I could be the softest red
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Or gentle blue and wrap you up in sky.
\nThe pillow that’s beneath your cheek, each night when you’re in bed;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 A breath of wind that makes you want to fly.
\nSo many things around us that can be with you today
\nBut I am lost in loving you and stranded far away.<\/p>\n
The water in a swimming pool, or maybe in your shower,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 The towel you use to dry your perfect skin.
\nIf you want scent and beauty I could be a single flower.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The brand new book you’re waiting to begin.
\nI wish that I was everything that’s nearer you than me,
\nThe only way I touch you is in this, my poetry.<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nI was sent a link to a Shania Twain song called I’m jealous. I don’t do
\njealousy but I loved the sentiment [Posts%20by%20cricketjeff%202_files\/
