Touch Me

Touch me with a candle,

     I'll still feel the burning flame,

Touch me with a knife,

     I'll still feel the searing pain,

Touch me with a spear,

     I'll still bleed all the same,

Touch me with a mirror,

     I'll still appear very plain,

Touch me with money,

     I'll still have little to gain,

Touch me with sickness,

     I'll still stand out in the rain,

Touch me with a cage,

     I'll still go insane,

Touch me with your heart,

     I'll not feel ashamed...

I hate it when a fly gets on my back where I can't reach him with my tail to swat him away. But I love butterflies and that butterfly picture is beautiful. Us bovines don't bother with mirrors too much, but I can sure identify with the cage line! Keep it up, you will be a good writer.

I really liked this one. The flow was very smooth. The words were used well to convey powerful emotion. This was very deep.

This is your best by far at least that's what I think,
take all those pointed nasty things and throw them down the sink,
show everyone just how much it is you have to give,
I'll try to touch you with my heart every day that I live.

I love this. The repetition is incredibly effective, and it almost has the sense of a fairy tale or something a kid might repeat in a schoolyard, but the themes are very, very deep. And the last two lines are beautiful.
