I Feel You as Soft Touches - Aug. 22, 2011



I Feel You as Soft Touches

I want to see the thoughts
you breathe,
hear your words and collect them,
cradled in your honesty.
I could watch the beauty in your eyes
for eternity
without ever wishing
to walk away.

You give me your hand
and I close my eyes,
hear the whisper of the sea
and I remember how my heart
has searched for one
such as you
knowing I have found my home.

My love,
the world could dance
on the shells of their falsehoods
with words
written in beautiful calligraphy
and your words
would continue to run in my veins
like Morse code
tapping out who I am
to me.

You fill my hope chest with your spirit
lifting my head
from the table of where my mind wanders
when I forget
to stop and smell the roses along the way.
Your words
bring precious harmony
into play.

I look through the window of my heart
where you
have pressed your lips
on a photograph of your words
and I feel you as soft touches
on my soul.
I collect them one by one
to remember,
until you again I hold.

  6. "I want to see the thoughts you breathe" What a beautiful opening.
    "to stop and smell the roses along the way." Very wonderful line, captivating. Earlier today I was thinking about the word calligraphy, and the thought of using it in a poem. Coincidence that I see it in your poem. Awesome.:)
