Who doesn’t love a good cuddle?

Holding hands, hugging, kissing – these are some of the most intimate gestures that we humans share with each other. Some people might even say they can speak louder than words. And while words of encouragement can be encouraging and inspiring, there’s something quite powerful about being physically touched and held by somebody you care about.

How Do You Do it?

The way you stare at me

makes me wanna hold you in my arms

you give me strength

that I’ve never seen

when something is wrong

you always make it better

then it may seem

how do you do it

how did you break the curse?

you must have a power

the power to accept me for me

Love that I can’t explain

something deep

deeper than you would know

You’ve got me in a trap

that I can’t help but get trapped

in something wonderful

it’s a thing called love

I wrote this poem to get the words out of my heart where they’d been gathering for the last few days. I don’t know what I expected, but it’s nice to talk about it. The words in my heart the words never leave me alone they are always there, waiting to be said but I feel so much better now as I’m writing this, that I’m finally able to feel okay about myself, and be able to let these words out. The words in my heart the words never leave me alone they are always there, waiting to be said but I feel so much better now as I’m writing this poem.
