Drawing by FoxAndTheCrow
in her anguish
loud darkness
no room for
the effort
of words
all she needs
is a touch
quiet fingers
to reach
underneath
her despair
take the fear
from her mind
hold her heart
in the palm
of unspoken
affection
one touch
of love’s hand
conveys more
compassion
than penstrokes
of poets
or blessings
of saints
silent hands
can catch
teardrops
lift spirits
if only
for moments
but moments
distinctly
profound
in their power

not her food
nor the sacrifice she makes
but her touch
“Sad Man”
Painting by Ayse Deniz
From fineartamerica.com
one tender gesture
conveys fifty years’ worth of
love and commitment
sweet silent reassurance
that mistakes are forgiven
Painting by Unknown Artist
From olivierbau.com
needing warm
fingertip gifts of affection
untouched skin shivers
bereft of companionship
loneliness kin to a dying
