They Touch Poem by moon batchelder
They Touch
they touch
not deep enough to feel.
their love,
a show of lust.
nor sit them down
to taste a meal,
in haste
but dip the crust.
they skim the surface,
water spiders
gliding o'er a pond.
they know
they're prisoners - but own
no will to go
beyond.
for superficial souls,
sufficient
inobtrusive game.
but bonfires rage
my heart within,
not single darting flame.
There is so much bad poetry on here - but finally I have clicked on one that isn't written in a cringeworthy and personal style... So many poems submitted don't have any form, or think form is putting odd punctuation into their poems. This poem has good form, breaking the rules a little for the better. And the punctuation and verse structure makes it sound melancholy. I like it very much. Keep up the good work.
