You touch my hand And the world collapses To a tiny sphere Where only we exist. My vision does not extend Beyond your eyes. You touch my skin And the universe explodes. Every glistening shard of me Revolves around you; I am alive Because you love me. You touch my heart And it expands to make A better me. Filled with love for you I am omnipotent And totally helpless... You touch me. |

You touch my hand And the world collapses ======================== what a delightful read.... ya had me from the opening hook.... perfect impact in your analogies and personifis...the emotion and elation resonates from this...one would have to be made of stone not to smile as reading.

Words like yours could melt a monitor, you know. Well done. Here is a chance for a "smartypants" answer! When the bucks are gone and the car’s waitin’ for repo. Do you wonder if freight trains are hopped near the depot? When the food clerk says your coupons are expired, Do you think “Maybe food stamps come when you’re fired.” When the tires are worn and the tranny is groaning Do you hope that solace might come from moaning? When your shoulders bend from burden borne Do you wonder why life is so forlorn? HNY Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light |
