...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.

These words may be only drops in a sea of time but they define the tides. Welcome back.

[Frieda P]

Defining the tides, I like that idea, thanks Ken.

I have been trying to review this beautiful poem for the past. 20 minutes and still the proper words elude me. "Still just a mere drop of water in an infinite sea " We are all just drops of water in the seas of our lives and those of others. But it does takes these droplets to form these oceans. I loved this poem...I truly loved it. This is definitely going into my favorites.

Awwh as always you humble me sweet man, thanks so much, you are truly appreciated my dear friend.

I loved this one, Frieda. A stunning love poem, indeed. Great work! (PS - I'm a big Streisand fan, have listened to that album innumerable time when songs were still played on a record player.)

Excellent choice of words and images!

Perfect ending lines:
"oftentimes, especially when it rains blissfully
i think of how you enveloped me for perpetuity"

I am a lover of rain, Frieda. In one of my poems, I have also mentioned this line:
"because when it rains, I see you here..."

Such a piece with elegance! So splendid.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your glowing words Dhaye, muchly appreciated.......
