'The Lovers,' by Pablo Picasso

"Love is blinding. that is why lovers like to touch." 
German Proverb 

THIS LOVE

Oh, to just touch his hand!  The smallest part 
Of his divine self...  To caress; express 
A little of this love. 

Precious kisses, tokens of affection, 
With your name on them, have I saved for you. 
To give to you, my love!

Touch his hand, touch his lips.  Touch also his heart
I wish to do..  For my heart, he has touched.
I wish to know his love.

I know someday he will touch all of me-- 
Everywhere, inside and out.  We will touch, 
We will join, we will love. 

To kiss, to touch, deeply sharing our love. 
Nothing will satisfy me, 'til we do! 
Darling, requite this love!
