Why Does A Spiritual Love Need Physical Contact? Poem by Rae Seagull

Why does a spiritual love
Need physical contact?
Our souls are intertwined
But have no way of expressing their closeness
Except through our bodies...
There's a union of thought and emotion
A conglomeration of feelings so deep
That none can guess
What's riding beneath the surface...
And you, my love,
You express your passion
In many wonderful ways...
You're strong yet gentle
Strong in body and mind
And oh so gentle in love...
