Touch Tender
Touch tender has now gone extinct
Nobody has the time
Deadened hearts, no longer love inked
Mankind’s deaf to love’s chime
To be a child again
Devoid of feral stain
Mindful of other’s pain
Mind bender
Touch tender
~~~
Touch tender that once was the norm
Is nowhere to be found
Sharing, caring, endearment warm
Now buried underground
Fast pace makes life a blur
Feeling not love throbs stir
Unless head-head concur
Heart mender
Touch tender
~~~
Touch tender, not felt in a while
Those once close, now distant
So alone we trudge, mile by mile
To love, hearts resistant
We once walked together
Love the binding tether
Caring for each other
Love blender
Touch tender
