exactly

thoughts from the heart

a smudge in an open book is smeared slightly,
                these chapters -
                         slowly fingertips trace,
       like an invitation
  to proceed
                             
                          with caution, i welcome you
                              
           in a humble attempt- you navigate along my pages,
                                  so you can know me:

I love the patterns of the words, like fingers, gently caressing the poem as it is read.
Very nice.

Trace

[Brandy]

That's how it should be. : )

Fingertips really enjoy tracing words like braille. Thank you Trace, for your kind review.

[Lorry]

Thanks for that Brandy. I don't know what temperature it is outside, but all the snow just suddenly melted and the underfloor heating is keeping my tootsies rare and warm!
I might have a barbecue later if this keeps up! 😃

[Brandy]

You're very welcome, Lorry !

Snow is melting and the floor is heating up -
I had no idea my words were capable of causing the temp to rise that much. Oh, my !

I better be careful.

Your thoughts bring a smile. : )
Thank you, Lorry.

Imagery cuts like a knife, to the point...exactly.

[Brandy]

Oh, my ! I'll take that as a compliment.

Your picture looks a bit mature...I think you should probably say this is for teen....lol
This also looks like sex....or something....
Because of the image

[Brandy]

True, the picture can be viewed as mature. I see what you mean, Snow. I can set this in the teen category.

I'm blushing. The words may be a little suggestive. I completely understand your thinking here.

My personality is shining through.

Yeah right bye

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

it's really nice. it captures that moment when you are ready to open up to someone. me, i am a man with many secrets safely guarded and so this poem resonated a lot.

[Brandy]

Ready to open up, but being careful as well. I completely understand about staying on guard.

There is such a beautiful, intimate discovery we go through when reading the pages of another... learning their minds and hearts... the passions of their souls. May all come to know another in this deep way... exactly.

[Brandy]

You're absolutely right. We learn so much about each other through our poetic whispers. Feeling each and every emotion within, while navigating through each chapter. Thank you for your lovely review, owl on the moon. :)

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

Wow! Exactly striking like an lighting in thunderstorm. With caution, i welcome you is really the punching line 〰〰

[Brandy]

Yes, very powerful words indeed. Thank you for your lovely review. :)

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

You're most welcome!

Brandy,
As a life-long reader, I pity those who do not take the time to pause and contemplate each new word, to sound it out with lips pursed and round and with slow, shallow breaths, quietly rustling the pages with every turn...
Vol

[Brandy]

Dear Vol, emotions can be felt within, if you truly take a moment to feel the words. Thank you for reading this little scribble of mine and for the lovely review. My best to you. :) Brandy
