That Human Touch.

Everyone of us craves for that human touch and we do receive it also. But what about someone who has for a long time not felt that human touch.

                                       THAT HUMAN TOUCH!

I SIT ALONE ON A DARK WINTER'S NIGHT NOTHING IS TO

 BE HEARD EXCEPT MY BREATHING ALONE, I WAIT FOR

A MIRACLE TO TAKE PLACE MAYBE A LIGHT DOWN THIS

TUNNEL, WHERE I AM TRAPPED SINCE ETERNITY 

"I CANNOT SEEM TO CRY ANY LONGER AS MY TEAR 

DUCTS HAVE DRIED UP, MY HEAD IS NUMB, I AM 

SWEATING AND STICKY. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE 

RIGHT NO HOPE, NO LIGHT OF HOPE TO MAKE

ME FEEL ALIVE AGAIN. "THEN WHY ON EARTH ! 

I CRAVE FOR THAT HUMAN TOUCH", SOME 

SWEET WORDS THAT WHISPER IN MY EAR, STRONG

ARMS THAT ENCIRCLE ME, SOMEONE TO ASK ME?

SOMEONE WHO FIGHTS BACK, I AM TIRED OF 

BEING ALONE NOW PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME?"

AM I GOING INSANE? OR THIS IS BUT NORMAL

WHY AM I CRAVING FOR THAT HUMAN TOUCH.

"I WANT TO FEEL, A MAN'S BREATH ON MY NECK,

MY LIMP BODY RESTING AGAINST HIS LEAN CHEST

I WANT TO HOLD HANDS, NOT NECESSARILY SAYING

SOMETHING, JUST WANT THAT HUMAN TOUCH."

"I DO NOT REMEMBER FOR HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN

TRAPPED FOR?  IT MUST HAVE BEEN YEARS NOW."

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I NEVER CARED

HOW MUCH I AM CRAVING FOR THAT HUMAN TOUCH.

"THERE IS NO MIRROR, NOTHING TO SEE MY REFLECTION

IN, I MUST HAVE CROSSED 40 BY NOW, NO ! MAYBE IT

WAS 30? I DO NOT REMEMBER.  I AM IN RAGS AND I 

SMELL BAD BUT OH GOD ! I CRAVE FOR THAT HUMAN

TOUCH." THAT HUSKINESS OF A MAN'S VOICE MIGHT

EASE THE PAIN IN ME, NOW I DO NOT HAVE THE DESIRE 

TO BE FREED ANY LONGER JUST GIVE ME THAT HUMAN

TOUCH. "I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO A SOUL JUST SELF

TALK TO PUT MYSELF TO SLEEP IF ONLY I HAD A KNIFE,

A REVOLVER, OR EVEN A PAPER KNIFE I WOULD DIE 

EASILY THIS IS RIDICULOUS! HOW CAN I LIVE LIKE

THIS WITHOUT THAT SOFT, TENDER, YET WARM

  AND PULSATING, EXCITING HUMAN TOUCH. "

Beutiful Poem! I really do LOVE this poem. However, I think next time, don't capital ALL the letters, it's little bit hard to read. Anyways, if you capital soem letters, it will be much better to read!
Nice Written

It is a beautiful poem... full of tender longing and expressing so well what so many feel... We are often trapped in whatever situation we find ourselves in and can even seem to have all when there is a still a gap, a need... The craving for touch is the mark of a soul that pulses, and the strong arms that encircle find pleasure in the weakest surrender... For to carry a damaged woman to the cleansing waters and to bathe her soiled flesh and restore its fragrant softness is a most blessed and arousing experience... the glorious excitement of human touch...
