First touch

A Poem by Céce

Edges of your eyes,

soft gathered lashes, I'm

trying not to look

too much.

My finger twitches

(I think you see)

and in a sweet, leftover gesture,

our breaths

sucked in,

your fingers suddenly

wrap mine. Oh!

the

space

between us,

your hands

carefully sift through

the passions of

my heart.

Fernando Pessoa

You've always had a way with words, to dance us in that chasm that love erases forever. I love the beautiful, lifting way you let us feel alive again in that first touch.

Malagasy Proverb: "Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river."

Each line breathes elegance.

Has the spirit of haiku, while extending the expressivity.

The visual structure of the poem enhances the breathless sublimity of the content.

Beautiful.

This was very romantic Cece. I really like the way it flowed and the look of it was really cool.

Thanks for sharing.

the first line's syntax seems a little contorted, however I do like the estrangement. The visual caught my eye, and I think it reflected the momentary gesture. It's a very short, intimate act, that expands to the more grand concept of passion. Nice concise landscape.
