Touching love

touch her 

fingertips with yours in

a slow methodical 

dance of the digits from index 

to pinky 

then thumb press gently forward 

and feel 

the resistance melt 

let your palms find each 

other

feel both souls reaching ~ 

illuminating

knowing

forgiving

promising

loving

I'm not a big fan of romance - here I go again - but, you've done it again, you can not only do it with emotions, you can also do it with simple acts, make them into thingies like this that can actually tempt me to get into romance, it is as if each frame of a single motion was captured and worked on by hundreds of artists - well not exactly like that, altho I like you I still wont say you're this great, neither am i dangit, but i like how you're able to "capture" these "frames" and the beautiful way you do it

[Tony Jordan]

Lol - this great or that great - anywhere on the 'great' spectrum will do me all day Winter but I don't pursue greatness - I'd hate to start writing Tony the Great lol.
Thank you for reviewing another of mines.
I think the romance track might be interesting for you to experi-ment creating thingies ;p
I appreciate your visits dear poet.

I have experimented it @_@ was awkward the few times i delved into that strange place

[Tony Jordan]

Love is awkward by definition so you must have been tapping a good seam.

[Willard Wells]

Touch is the most important aspect of love in my view and life. Well done verse.

[Tony Jordan]

Hi Will !

I don't think that I need to even write anything to express just how amazing this poem is, the shivers I got is expression enough!
At first I thought that the choice of style and rhytm was a bit odd, since I've never seen anything like it before, but for every sentence I read, I loved it more and more. Every word was like honey for my brain, a very pure depiction of fragile love. Thank you for this poem.

Bala, sorry for being rude.
I did try to make this more than bodily contact.
I'm glad you felt that.
Thank you for reviewing this one.

It's a simple but pressing hands against another's can be very nice, loving... Like a bond forming.

[Tony Jordan]

A hand to hand contact becomes the conduit for energies to intermingle and oxytocin to flow. It's magical.
Thank you once more Pepper. I'll be over later today to leave some long overdue reviews.
:)

Simple acts of contact say so much don't you think Ellusen?

[The dark story]

Ravishing and magnificent. The verses carries the elegance and the essence of the passions, the emotions and the feelings to a sublime magnitude with simplicity. Yes- simplicity. Simplicity is elegance indeed. Here you portray love and passion without any superfluous ornaments but through simple gestures imbued with a strong emotion.
"and feel

the resistance melt"

My favourite line here,just took me with awe.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Lovely write. Keep writing.

[Tony Jordan]

Atiba forgive me for overlooking this beautifully poetic review.
You picked my fav line too.
The resistance is but mistrust and when mistrust fades away then true understanding of one another occurs - like the metamorphic transformation of caterpillar to butterfly.

Thank you for such an inspirational review
:)

[Sami Khalil]

Capturing the essence and captivating the presence. Fine words with great loving dimensions. An excellent one, sir...:)...............

[Tony Jordan]

Sami it heartens me to see you review my writing.
I have long admired your work.
I love the current phase of romanticism and your use of archaic phraseology is enthralling.
Thank you master poet

[Sami Khalil]
