Once

I dedicate this to The Beautiful Miss Mary Beth, my lover, my wife.

The distance between my thoughts
led to a subtle place

In a trance 
dancing with words
and expressing the
delicate allure of passion

The piercing strength
of one tender touch

A single touch
between you and I

But Love

This is every touch
between you and I

The cunning juxtaposition of "piercing" with "tender" says more than either could say alone. This speaks with such magnificent simplicity of the paradox that is Love. Well said, Sir!

Concise....expressing deep emotions in a way that makes them new, not cliche at all. The photo is stunning and the sentiment is touching. I am sure your wife was thrilled with this one. Lydi**

What a beautiful dedication. Your wife had to have been in complete awe when she read this. I love meeting other people who are in love as deeply as myself. With a passion that runs deep. Very sweet and touching to read.

Ahhh, there is so much beauty in a simple touch, in simple words. This piece is delicate and rich like the picture of the leaves you post with it. I often wonder, if more than poets stop and revel in such simple things:)

[Revery]

No, only poets. Thank you for your review. :)

It is a wonderful feeling to read the Love between two remarkable people. The simplicity gives such strength in the message as Love should be simple even though it is the most complicated emotion we feel. The tenderness of your words caress her and it feels my heart with joy to witness such lasting, timeless love....

[Revery]

We completed each others reviews at the same moment. I think that's a sign about our spiritual connection. Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem. :)
