wine and love for me don't mix
wine no longer is a fix
i'd prefer to hold your hand
rather than a one night stand
press your fingers to my lips
meet my mind and not when pissed
So many relationships would be better (much better), if those involved remembered the value of soul-filled touch, of a kiss, a whispered word while walking in the park...
Sometimes we just need someone to hold our hand.. make us feel loved and wanted.. to connect with another soul.. on a higher level. Beautiful poem!
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
