Touch Me

Your fingertips flow swiftly and tenderly
over cheekbones and nose, then
across my smile without beguile,
for it’s in movement
that you feel me,
round the chin of determination,
down to shoulders of
strength and resolve,
across mountains of love
to the valley below.
For touch is where
we shall meet
One-on-One in
Love so sweet
it will tingle
your feet,
and curl your toes
as the scent of Love
excites your nose.
And we shall be
as One,
in love's
sweet touch.

Now this is a wonderful touch. It isn't often that someone touches us like this, but it certainly is wonderful when they do. As one in loves touch...a magical number indeed.

I loved the visual aspects you captured in this piece Midnitesun ... wonderful phrasing indeed.

Best wishes,

Midnitesun,,
Well this poem touched me in places I haven't been touched for a long time...the shoulders of resolve for one. Breathtaking poem.
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Tracey, thanks. Touching can convey so much, and the best is a lover's touch. This is a just a dream for me right now.

Kit, thanks! I needed to remind myself to hold onto my dream.

Kethry, Thank you for your comment. That line makes me sit up straighter and keep looking forward.

Noah, it's true, my heart is carried by wings of love.

Kacy,
I knew it! I knew you were touched!! But nobody told me you were touched like that. Wow! That wasn't the deep valley of indecision, was it? LOL

Okay, I concede. Very romantic. I just couldn't leave the title alone ya' know. Good to see that side of you too!

There is nothing that speaks more
clearly than the feel of a lovers touch.

You wrote of them so beautifully Midnitesun.

Love so sweet
it will tingle
your feet,
and curl your toes

I loved this part.  I have this thing about touching feet to feet when I'm sleeping.  A little more than you probably needed to know, huh?  lol

Sandra, me too! LOL, this is what I dream of every night lately, and hope will happen someday soon. *sigh*

Duncan, LOL, yes, more than I needed to know, but I can enjoy a moment of intimacy vicariously. I am glad it tickled your reality toes.
