Caress of Hand

Caress of Hand

A Poem by Cherrie

Turning the corner
today
I bumped into you
a brick wall
that took my breath away
I prepared not for you this day
frozen in step I did not move
no words
came to me
as I looked at you
merci
you offered me
as you passed me by
with only
a caress
of the hand

I like this because it can take you in different directions. Something so uplifting but maybe something sinister and watching you. A most enjoyable read. Nice job.

Good morning and thank you Donna 😊
I don't know why but the first thing that came to mind was...did you have your face buried in your phone? Walking along, reading our poetry, not a care till you hit your head there, on the wall. That was me! Merci! (I'm going to resist the urge coming over me to rewrite this all!)

Must have been some character. Does the word breathtaking apply? One of those people who occupy space like a force of nature. I've known a few. Well written.

:) thank you I wanted itvto move like a little movie. I'm so pleased you liked it.
I do not know why but your few words made me cry.. I suppose because I have been there and although many many years ago, the thought of how I felt then is still with me..and probably will be forever.
The mere fact that your words have the power to evoke such emotion is truly a wonderful gift..

Gee
Have felt this a few times in my long ago past, usually when the lady was taken by a friend! The butterflies in the stomach stir but are forever trapped.
Good morning Cherrie, Hope you are well.
