The Art of Intimacy

Intimacy is an art
beyond the touch of skin
Indeed, many engage in sex
but do not look within
No examination of the soul
No meeting of the minds
Though the hearts are beating quickly
insertion of the flesh is as far as it goes
Ecstatic penetration, sweaty & hot throes
is petty & erratic
when you have forgot
That intimacy is an art
Shared communication of the heart
Interlaced souls
Staring in the window panes
Hence the eyes
You will never be the same
once you look past the lies
Once you know the art of intimacy
You know--
You touch me
with your eyes.
