The purest love
I'll ever know
A love which daily, hourly, grows
That is what I feel when I touch your skin
A love that none have known before
A key to open all locked doors
A tear of joy
A smile begins
That is what happens when I touch your skin
Each time I feel a fingertip
A brush of cheeks
A touch of lips
A whisp of hair against my face
I know that I am in my place
This is what I know when I touch your skin
I feel your body so close to mine
Our arms and legs and hearts entwined
I see your eyes
And hear your sighs
I melt
each time I touch your skin
To touch your face
Or kiss your feet
Brings me alive
Makes me complete
There's nothing I need
Or could desire
To hold you quenches any fire
I have everything when I touch your skin
But once I am there
Holding you close
I cannot bear to part
We have but one body, one heart, one soul
Which cannot be torn apart
We are one when I touch your skin
And even if distance is between us
Still we are together
I feel your touch
So gentle
You'll be touching me
Forever
I'm in heaven when I touch your skin

Gossamer, Rosebud, jwesley, Kit
Thanks for expressions
I'm just a beginner at this poetry bit
And appreciate the lessons

It's true that with this love inside
The words just keep on flowing
And as I tell the world I find
That love just keeps on growing

So thanks again
I have to say
Your comments are the most
But I have to get to work right now
(I'm planning my 1000th post!)

Tracie.Thank you for your kind words.
My Angel makes me feel tender, so I guess it just comes out in my words!
So sweet...you are! Thank you too.
This really is a wonderful place to visit. The only problem I have is getting out of it!

Oh yes...a favorite subject of mine...I was talking to my friend Mina about touching just a few days ago...if you don't really like someone the touch has no sensation or value...but if you desire their touch it can be very satisfying and sensual...James

Thank you Marge. I am so glad that you liked this one as it means a lot to me.
James. You are so right. I find that touching fingertips everso lightly, can be a real turn on...for me and my lady.

Ah... *sighs*... I've just joined and this was the first poem I read... my, do you know the feeling when you're in love with someone - but a love yet to develop... and you enjoy every single, even the most slightly touch? When you're just crossing the border between friendship and love? Man... this touch got something electrical to it... this is what I thought of while reading your poem... wonderfully expressed, notlikely. *sighs again* =)

congrats for the 200th! =)

Thanks Jenova.
You describe my feelings so well.
I am so very much in love and yet, as you suggest, I feel that there is so very much more yet to come.
Thank you for your comments and welcome to the Open Forum.

You have captured true love so beautifully. "The heart knows no distance" a friend told me once. It only knows how to love. So tender this is, I truly enjoyed this.
