I keep you there

right there,
within midnights reach
of fulfilling that need

just to have you close at hand
so that I can touch you/r stories

and feel the wonder,
the sights and scenes seen

a world experienced
through your eyes;

    {how cool of a place this world would be,
          if only the whole world could see}

and I love how it
wraps around me
like a favorite worn out blanket.

You know,
the down home country
comfy kind that smells like
a favorite some yesterday's memory
and is as warm as
the soul words felt

   when fingertips dance
           across aged leather.

Very nicely done. Put me in mind of time spent as a child with my grandparents, sitting on Grandpa's lap tracing the curlicues on his hand while he read bedtime stories.

Gentle Spirit, this was terrific stuff, made me feel very warm and comfortable.

{how cool of a place this world would be,
if only the whole world could see}

I could see with your words and feel with your heart, thanks for sharing my friend.

interesting 'write'!

I am especially fond of the
line (and Title):

"Within Midnight's Reach"

And...the image of:

"fingertips danc(ing)
across aged leather"

applause!
