Finger Touched |

Finger Touched I have been finger touched By the glove of ecstasy As love brushed my elbow In giddiness, Scoffing at my desires Then waving a pointed gesture To a window reflection Where I saw a hand detached From its mime Tapping me on the shoulder As though it were my turn And I drew in a deep sigh of heartbeats, My mind fogged in euphoria Trembling hands pulling some strands of blond highlights Into place Lips pursing a new shade of Plum delight But it was all in jest The fingers did not beckon me into the moonlit night Instead, they brushed off a Speck of lint from my sleeve And disappeared into the shadows of dreams with echoes of laughter following them It seems that love was not ready for me Just checking to see if I was ready for love Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (03-07-2003 08:35 AM).] |

Wistful reflections... ~ May the love that you so richly deserve tap you on the shoulder---and may you embrace it with open heart and arms... Warm morning hugs, Linda |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Elizabeth, I too know this haunting feeling, sweet friend, I just want to fall in love though sometimes I'm skeptical and think maybe love just isn't for me and I should leave it for those who need it more! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Sounds to me as if you are ready. Wish I could tell you when love would be but that is something I haven't figured out... hmmm. Lovely lovely poem. |
