                                          YES MEN DO CRY

                                    One mans rebirth

Introduction – After the death of my wife Lois on October 18 2000 I began writing a Journal over a period of 3 years. She was 52 years old. Included in this Journal (Yes Men Do Cry /Available on Amazon) are the 47 poems . The full Journal is also available in print under the tile Yes Men Do Cry – A Journal. Reading this may give you a better understanding of the poems. Enjoy.    Also visit my website at yesmendocry.com

 

The first of 47 poems                                       

                                                      TOUCH

           One more time- if only

           The beginning- a new journey

           Hi

           It’s only me

           No words-just touch

           Like a flower - one for every occasion

           Sorry

           Good vibrations

           The ultimate

           Love

           The climatic crescendo

           If only I could touch you one more time I would still want more

           Once is never enough

           Touch

           No words can really explain the meaning

           Only when it’s gone will they understand

           One more touch-if only

           But not in this life time

           Touch

           I will hold as a memory

           Touch

           Only in my dreams

           Touch

           Memories.

           That’s all I’ve got now.
