...and then you touched me

........and then you touched me

not in the usual fashion,

but deep within my soul's fancy

a fondling embrace that took flight

clutch'd and pique'd every relevant moment thereafter

life would forever be changed         yet

most everything stayed the same

except for deep within the recesses of time

breath stood still and the imprint within my heart,

lasting well beyond a lifetime of  endlessness 

still just a mere drop of water in an infinite sea

oftentimes, especially when it rains blissfully

i think of how you enveloped me for perpetuity

It is interesting how that one touch - perhaps fleeting - can stay with us forever...

Your poem reminds me of the first time my daughter wrapped her tiny hand around my finger and I knew nothing would ever feel like that again...nothing would ever be the same.

A beautiful poem my friend. You have touched my heart with this one.

[BlackRose]

That one special touch can be wonders for ones beginnings. Sending them beyond the usual nothing. Wonderful piece, so 'touching'.

[Frieda P]

Ha thanks BlackRose, I can't believe you're the first one that used that. ;-)

[Cryingkate]

I used to be too until they came out with these Beautiful Hot Pink plastic.rubber like coated ones.
I bought two cases of them LOL

[Cryingkate]

But hey use what ever hangers you want Just make sure you air out the bathroom and no passing gas...

[Frieda P]

Hahaha, they have the floral cloth ones too, they don't smart as much

[Cryingkate]

Yeah I think those are romantic but they take up too much room in the closet.
I have to have tons of room.. I have my Garden clothes, My Dress- Dress Clothes, My Stage Clothes, my Garden clothes , My Home repair working on the house cars and lawn tractor clothes ( grease Clothes)
Then I have my going to the store casual clothes and Dr. clothes and then I have my lounging around the inside house clothes.
Think that's enough? Nope! Now I have all them in 3 sizes .........
GRRRR.. Stuff stuff stufff........

[Frieda P]
