rhythmic enterprises


you gently touch the pulse of me
my heart bows to you
subordinate gestures
the longing assuaged
resignation
screaming in quiet bliss

it's the feel of it
that counts,
words are just shallow syllables
clinging together 

to put a sound to the touch.

Gentle and tender romance in every line of this one, Jacob.....words do help, but actions and touches, well, they can never be replaced. So lovely. Lydi**

Words are cheaper than pennies if we don't enrich the heart of loved ones with gestures of love.

I think WK has said it more succinctly than I could. That last line is incredible by the way.

If words are just that, without any connection to the beating heart of what we are, than what is the damn point anyway? Granted, you have expressed that with considerably greater elegance here...

so easy to slip into this place ..felt my own pulse begin to bound as she touches .. the dance of mutual agreement and respect lends to taking the time to hear the touch .. what a pleasant experience in the reading for me!

indeed those moments of breathlessness, nay helplessness when your soul is captivated and emotions of hope and desire overwhelm said in such palpable verse Jacob.

Loved, "words are just shallow syllables
clinging together".
Some things are too much to put into words, but you are great at doing it anyway.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Kristina...you are very kind.
