CARE package?
when it is the heart
that is starving
what are you going to do?
A few choice and tenderized words
no matter from whence they come
or how much meaning they
are intended to contain
are no substitute for
the warmth of these arms
that feel empty for the want of you
no facsimile for the ears
that want to taste your whisper
for the lips
that want to see your face
for the eyes
that want to drink your smile
I cannot clone myself for
these words will never form
themselves of DNA
and can never substitute
themselves for me
