The You-Touched Mark last night I sat in silence, dark bound by passions, chains of hold wondering how and what and if my pace of you could be foretold remembering, those moments first slight of shy, not looking there for masks were present, making ease the words each spoke, the seconds share to wish for then, to be not I to make believe your want and need to be among the beauty of could fold me into arms that feed comfort was the You of me loving all that eyes could see and in the stillness of the dark I felt it strong, the You-touched mark that tattooed me right on the spot a life old-ending, needing new I gave in faith a spirit's trust and placed my mark to touch you, too see me there, I'm in you mind fold your arms, I'm in your hold forever seems a long, long time but treasures keep, when love is gold Yes, comfort was the You of me and love I did, all that I see and in the stillness of the dark I feel it now, the You-touched mark M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

the you touched mark.... well you my friend have touched a great many here with your words and love... I am sure we all have a few you touched me marks.... My eyes did not need light to see the you lying there beside me for my hands had mapped the valleys and peaks so that in braille I could read your love The marks, old scars from wounds lay inside but tonight they reflected moonlight as if quartz in bottom of clear pool providing more than enough illumination for my insight |

Yet, I need to look into the eyes, yours where mirrored is the loving felt, no words be spoke just lips leaving their touch a mark to last the night through ~~~ Old scars to be layered with each touch of gentle each kiss removing the wounds of yesteryear each moment illuminated by eyes that see beyond tonight M You always touch me C..with each verse of your responses thank you ..you and I(Interloper) make it fun to respond in poetry.

Very nice words you share.... your talent with emotional expression is showing my friend.... Let me lie here leg over yours as my arm draped over you wards off cold Let me think of feather beds old quilts, worn but warm, from days long ago that gave comfort to a scared boy when nights were too cold and darkness to long then later.. perhaps you will turn touch my cheek as you lay your leg on mine and smile |
