Good Lord, no.
Don't touch me.
Stay right there.
Smile if you must.
Talk.
But do not touch.
No, there's no damage here.
No back story
No single thing I need you
To help me through.
No way to elicit my gratitude
And then bargain with it.
Call it a dare.
Touch me
Move me
Make me (sweet Jesus ) think.
Only do it without your hands.
Good Lord, no.
Say something.
The right thing.
Touch me.
I dare you.

ReplyDeleteYou touch me with your words. The change takes place in us, sometimes we are not even aware. Powerful!

Powerful words. Excellently done.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I understand and other times not. That's fine. ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI wish the Lord would do as you wish!
ReplyDeleteVery touching words Sandy...I could totally relate to your poem!
This certainly got me to twitch. Will he or won't he. Does she really want him to or not...
ReplyDeleteA dare to touch
ReplyDeletePleases me so much,
A clever verse, of course.
Fast and nice, and now the edge to do what one has been asked not to do, touch me, I dare you
ReplyDeletesuch a consummate tease!
ReplyDeletethis speaker really knows how to tickle:)
Thought provoking..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the treat.
I knew exactly where you were going with this. Wonderful words!!
ReplyDeleteExceedingly provocative!
ReplyDeleteoh, I'll have to reread this one :)
ReplyDeleteclever.
very good indeed......thanks for sharing your words
ReplyDeleteHmmm.....No teasing, no game-playing here. When I saw the prompt for this week, I thought of the men I have known who have attempted to play what they have believed to be my vulnerability to their advantage--which is to say to try to bed me down. Because men will try anything and walk away and not care at all, a woman needs to stay ahead of the game. That's not playing or teasing. That is surving with honor. I know the game so well.
ReplyDeleteA poem with attitude.
ReplyDeleteNot Joe Klein.
This is very powerful Sandy.. and you indeed know life well.. now I would refrain from calling it a game..
ReplyDeleteI liked the power of your bold dare!
ReplyDeleteTruly a worthy challenge, Sandy. And may the BEST man win!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is critical to trust one's intuition and to set and maintain boundaries accordingly. Most of all to articulate what is important. You have done this brilliantly.
Oh- I loved the dare you put out there...just perfect!!! Have a great week- Happy March (finally)
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
