Without

peto

You touch me without any use of the hands

Accept me without the outrageous demands 

Throw a dream in the air just to see where it lands 

Hug my soul with your daily embrace 

 

You look at my darkness without showing fear 

Sift through all the garbage to keep my feet clear 

Tell me truths I may think I'm not ready to hear 

Hug my soul with your daily embrace 

 

You put love in my heart without snapping at strings 

Let me soar through the air with a flap of your wings 

Have me feel like I'm walking the valley of kings 

Hug my soul with your daily embrace 

 

You enchant me without any use of a spell 

Quench my thirst with a free go on your wishing well

March your heavenly beauty straight into my hell 

Hug my soul with your daily embrace 

 

You have opened a door without slamming it shut 

Chased the terrors who ripped out a hole in my gut

Slipped right under my skin without making a cut 

Hugged my soul with your daily embrace

              I may have mentioned somewhere that I'm not very fond of love poetry generally. But this was of a different order - not only a smooth disciplined write structurally, but bright, energetic and free of mawkish sentiment.
              Good 'un, Peto.

              • peto

                  I cannot say enough about this! I love the way I can instantly see pictures in my mind like a sideshow of everything you describe. It's beautifully yet simply put. Not too over explained (I tend to do that but I'm working on it). But yet I can still feel the power behind the sentiment. Love this!

                  • peto

                    Great to see you Niki
                    I truly appreciate such support
