Deeper Than We Know |

Our touch has a memory...deeper than we know. Perhaps once you were the wind. And I...a single blade of grass - Left swaying in the wake of your caress. Or perhaps I was the ocean. And you...you were the shore - So patient to the rise and fall of my desire. We have lived this touch before. Perhaps you were a summer storm...passing briefly in the night. Perhaps I was the arid ground...pulling close your every drop. Or perhaps I was an autumn leaf...left clinging for a moment longer on the reaches of your branch. Perhaps you whispered to me..."let go...let go we will know this touch again." And now...we find ourselves here. Remembering. |

Here's a truthful compliment: this poem achieved the highest attainment for me -- what I call "The Goosebump Factor". Simply beautiful. -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

I love all about this write, Eric. The sheer essence of concept...the way your words flowed upon the page...the images...just every nuance. Your thoughts here will definitely last a life time for me. Patricia |

This touch reaches so deep .... the memories dance and unveil infinite beauty. I am in awe of your creation, it vibrates powerfully and leaves an everlasting echo ... I love you. Margherita perhaps ... Into the library. |

I've read this three times...and each time, fell deeper into the poem than even I knew I could go... Excellent! |

Aaahh.. pure spirit and magic carried on the sweetest love breeze... the wind kissing, gently caressing the inside of my soul. What an incredibly beautiful, divine mark left within that will live beyond eternity. Thank you... I love you, Moca |

Oh Eric... I echo Mark's goosebump factor. This was such a beautiful piece of poetry, it lingers long after the read...like sugar melting on the tongue. TD |

I'm with Mark V Sheldon, goosebumps, oh yes. You know, I have felt this before, with people i know, every once in a while, you meet friends, loves, and family members, and just ~feel~ you have loved and known them before. Rare are these people. And oh so special. Into my library, and i'm off for another read. Always a pleasure to read your thoughts m friend. gem xxxx Instant karma's gonna get you. |

Perhaps you whispered to me..."let go...let go we will know this touch again." And now...we find ourselves here. Remembering. This does leave goosebumps... it's simply stunning. *S* And it's going into my library so I can feel those goosebumps again and again. *S* |
