Listening to every heart

When next I am touched…

I will recall you
your smile
that drawn out look
of lingering
in your eyes

that spark
that alighted
briefly

right…there…

in your touch
electric

electric is not
enough to express

quivering

not enough to
elucidate

anticipation

at the exhilaration
which remains

right…here

when I recall
the lingering
of your
eyes

when next I am touched

you will hear
my sigh

Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Ms. E said it best.
And I agree with all the above.
Succinctly stated, a beautiful piece.

Sunshine is a magician of glare here!

Softly tender and passionate reminiscing.

When next ... indeed!

This touched memories I try to keep buried... but did so with such gentle beauty that the tears cleanse instead of scald. Superb!!
