*Mindful Touch*
Physical contact
makes his mind react
To touch he claims
sends himself into
a place of zen
a meditative state
deep within him
In what I first imagined
being either fireworks
or undeniable pleasure
I was mistaken
Nevertheless, being
on the receiving end
of his touch
Knowing now that
it’s a healthy mindful
touch
Is causing me to feel
deeper affectionate
emotions more and
more everyday
