In the passing of the night, I feel your fingertips, so light As they trace their message there, Across my brow, through my hair. I know you love me, I can read your touch. Your fingers whisper your loving thoughts, I cherish what your touch has brought, Peace and joy, in equal measure Loving moments, searing pleasure. I know you love me, I can hear your touch. I barely breathe as your fingers trace, My furrowed brow, my weathered face. And with each worried etch they mark, The line eases, then departs. I know you love me, I can feel your touch. "Sleep well, my love," you whisper near, As I succumb to your touches dear. Your feathery kiss alights on my lips, As you sing to me with fingertips. I know you love me, its in your touch. |

LongJohn~ This is absolutely stunning ! How breathtakingly lovely. Good to know you're 'touched'. (that's what Balladeer always said about you) ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

well, ladies - all I can say about touch is that men may seem to be unaware of the soft touches (gotta be tough, yanno), but as for me (and I suspect most other men), I am aware of even the slightest touch from a woman. You may have no idea what soft touches can do to a mean old man such as myself. Lorelei is a master at the art of soft touches and caresses - I truly love being her canvas as she creates one masterpiece after another. |

Well, well, well....Home is the sailor - home from the sea. It's about time!!!! Great to see you, LongJohn! I know there have been things we have disagreed on in the past but in this case we are in complete accord. Lorelei does indeed have one of the greatest touches in the world!!!  You just can't imagine how good it is to see you two. Now if we can just dig up Toe from that ditch he's hiding in, we can rouse a rabble or two.....  |

Oh, this is all so beautiful! I'm in tears. It's wonderful to see you two again, And Lngjohn, your poem does not surprise me, for when you first meet Lorelei, you feel her warmth from across the room. She is very loving in many ways, and you two are so precious. Thanks for the lovely picture Nan, a picture of love Love yas Liz Oh, what am I doing? I got so sidetracked I forgot to say An exquisite poem, dear friend Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 05-26-2000).] |
