Teach You

Let me teach you
that words can mean
more than you give them
credit for

they can reach inside
and hold you
start a simmering fire within
and push and pull you

Let me teach you
that touch is trust
it's goal doesn't have to be lust
but to soothe and comfort you

it can bring back good
to a heart of petrified wood
it can warm up the blood,
the nerves, and sinews

Let me teach you
that love is given in many forms
bonding us to the ones we adore
and sometimes to ones we had not
cared too much for

it can cure an ache long overdue
and forgive a heart broken in two
it will find the poetry of words,
the aching desire to touch, it's true,
and grab a hold, strong and bold
strengthening the very soul of you
