Heal thyself

Just a Touch of Touche

by victortouche

My, oh my,
comes a time when...
only loneliness
can love you.
 
Sitting,
just sittin' on
an orange leather sofa.
 
"Great Room",
guess they call it.
I call it,
"The Chapel."
 
Music
Fireplace
Companions,
I have neglected.
 
Like me???
 
Such comfort
in the dancing,
flickering firelight.
 
Like a certain boy,
I used to know.
 
Thinkin' of
Feelin' for
a little love.
 
A companion.
I could touch.
 
We are all
so bereft
of touch.
 
Think I'll
find me 
a shelter.
 
The eyes,
the pain endured,
when all seems lost.
 
I'll bring him home.
My beautiful new
wounded dog.
 
And we'll heal ourselves,
and live, and love,
and be...
 
 
free againe.

I have wanted a dog
for such a long, long
time.
