 With Just A Touch ~*Marge Tindal*~ With a touch of her beauty she turns on the night cascading the glow with stars burning bright One touch of her hand the day is gone night-time shrouding until early dawn Of cloudless clime with star-filled skies she sings the hush of lullabies Held in gentle slumber's rest babe tucked tightly to her chest Rocking softly melodious tune half-way to the glow of moon Never done her watch of night until there glows the morning light Lay down sweet guardian night-time has passed weary eyes now close at last ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

You paint a wonderful picture here Marge, I love the stars too! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

just a touch, thats all it needs, does it not? I am TOUCHED. Many regards, marge, and I wonder, why I always miss out on such poems when they first come up, must be the time zones....logic, eh? whats that?..strange My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself, Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night, Still there are the questions, no answers in sight Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor, Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door... You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange ~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream) |

this was pretty!!! Kathleen "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |

Marge~ this made me remember rocking my son to sleep.... I miss that so much. Now, he's almost 8 and won't let me rock him cause it's for "babies". I don't have the heart to tell him he still is a baby- my baby. This is a beautiful poem. As always, you strike a cord in one's heart. -SEA |

Ahh Marge...this reminds me of my Mom. Yet another masterpiece from you. You must be a great Mom to write of love so tender between mother and child. I'm sure that your children adore you as much as we at passions do! Take care, Melissa Honeybee P.S. Have a nice day O' Marge, queen of poetry! (Hey, I had to add that in ) |

I feel the peace that lives in this Marge......Real peace It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. |

You make me think of being a father, giving my child the comfort and the secure feeling of being loved and protected. The atmosphere created is a kind of dont-worry-someone´s-watching-you feeling... Masterpiece... -nando- Ask me how to live your life, and this to you I´ll say: make your choises true and wise, so that when tomorrow will arise, you´ll smile at yesterday... |

Marge, Another sweet one. So very touching. Everything a mom or dad should be. Love it! Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

the perfect lullaby Marge. I am sure to have sweet dreams tonight after reading your excellent poem. Before anyone thinks it is way too early for bed it is 00.43 here. yawn and I am tired goodnight passions. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time".

What a soothing piece of work Marge! I just walked in the door from a grueling day at work and boy did I need a nice, calm read. Thanks a bunch and good job! "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

Sudhir~ I'm so pleased to have touched you. Kathleen~ Thank you, hon. Tracie~ That's the way it felt to have written it .. 'lovely and peaceful.' SEA~ So many memories when this mom rocked her four little ones far into the night. The most tenderly cherished time in my life. Melissa~ The ultimate compliment - 'this reminds me of my Mom'. My four are remarkably close to my heart. David~ Thank you, hon. Nando~ Yes, you captured it ! Even though I wrote it from the feminity of motherhood, I fully realize that there are many fathers who stand the loving 'guard.' Karilea~ We reap the harvest of those precious, tender moments of bonding. Keeping watch over our priceless treasures. Lori~ Yes, everything is held in the heart of a mom or dad ... to be savored for the moment and kept for later. Brian~ Sleep well, my friend. So glad to have lulled you to sleep. TennesseeAngel~ Welcome home from a grueling day. I'm pleased to have helped soothe you. *Thanks to everyone who enjoyed this poem as much as I enjoyed the muse of the memory that helped me pen it. ~*Marge*~< !signature--> ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 06-09-2000).] |
