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

What a wonderful expression of memories.

I love it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

come to curl of arm
let all of me be your mark
I will just hold you

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

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.

M

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
