Hunger

iStock.com

Hungry for a touch
from another human being
The feel of a hand
trailing a weathered cheek

Eardrums shrinking
starved for the sound
of a deep voice
whispering love words

Soul aches for someone
to care to listen to cradle
in arms strong and gentle
loving and kind

A laugh at a bad joke
a hug for a tear
Debating politics
while dinner is shared

Pull down the covers
on a well made bed
Kiss sweetly goodnight
to do all over again
