And a Touch Too Tender

And a touch too tender
Skims my cheek
Shakes my suspicion
Of what I am
He sees me
He knows me
And still
A touch too tender
Finds me
Wanting to believe

And a touch too tender
His incandescent breath
My disbelieving breasts
Sating lips
Wanting to provide him
A proffer of openness
Arches back

And he takes me
With gentle lips
My symbolic gift
Life feeding a hunger
And a touch too tender
But he listens
To how it must be
Knowing my fears
Waiting patient for time
And a touch too tender
Is a touch just right

I have had a few pieces published and only once was I stupid enough to enter something for Poetry.com. Be forewarned!!! Poetry.com is a scam that wants you to buy a $45 book for the privilege of their publishing it. That’s beside the point.

Anyhow, legit folks have published me, but the books are tiny and the circulation not so much. However, I can honestly state that I am a published poet.

I have a few pieces at Chicago Poetry. Here’s the URL if you’re interested and truly, you do not have to be.

I’m in Volume Two – look for Slicer.

So, I really liked getting published here and the other two places, but I want to do more. I really want to have a chapbook published. It’s a dream! But then this it the place for dreams!
