Your palm rests only upon my cheek <br />As salve upon my heart runs deep. <br />Your fingers run just through my hair, <br />Yet yearnings arise to keep them there. <br />Your shoulder leaning against my head <br />To offer comfort, fuels flames instead. <br />Without embrace, you hold me tight; <br />The love I feel I hope is right. <br />Three kisses placed upon my brow <br />Assure me that I’m needed now. <br />Without a word, you say so much; <br />My mind’s at peace, must have your touch. <br />Your gentle pat as you take leave, <br />Lets me know you’re a friend in deed.<br /><br />Helen C Capan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/without-embrace/
