When you feel like you know someone so well every thought, feeling or emotion can be felt within a touch.

Your hands feel like eternity as one moment blends into another.

It’s easy to get lost in the shape of your face;

contoured continuum

where a placing of the hand knows every inch of its home.

Fingertips have memorized every line

the trace of your lips.

Each strand of hair lulls the skin into peaceful poetry.

Your eyes love what they cannot see;

countless sighs that have transposed

from one soul to another.

What passes could never compare

to whats always yet to come.

Even with no words between us I can hear what’s never said.

Each line a quiver upon my heart.

What’s left over can be remembered

simplisticly,

with just one touch.

” As always there is thought that passes, it cannot be contained nor with the lips restrained.  Making way they get stopped by the brick wall, but it is only a momentary fall.”

    That’s a wonderful, well thought out poem. Brick walls can’t be penetrated but they can be scaled.

    That is very true ~ and really this took no thought at all. Just a ‘if wishes were fishes’ thing (sigh)

    Thanks!

    Oh, what beauty you bring to us through the familiarity of the path your hands have traveled , the sights your eyes have seen and the well known thoughts you keep.

    Very nice, Mrs. Mo.

  • lillyrose on Dec 16, 2009

    Very well presented poem. I loved the use of words and the description of feeling!

  • Northernlight on Dec 16, 2009

    Like looking into a mirror with your eyes closed. Some nice lines:-
    It’s easy to get lost in the shape of your face;
    contoured continuum

    and

    Even with no words between us I can hear what’s never said.

  • miraj on Dec 17, 2009

    loved each line of the poem.It possesses a soothing feeling of bliss.

  • Nicholas Peterson on Dec 18, 2009

    good stuff. love is very much like this, me having the benefit of talking about it. but in my opinion its much more…unifying….but i guess that depends on the couple…

  • serowa on Dec 20, 2009

    I loved how you captivated my imagination by the words used. Great work!

  • Theresa Johnson on Dec 21, 2009

    very exceptional poem. you are a remarkable poet.

  • hfj on Dec 21, 2009

    I hope my wife feels like this about me. As for me though, i like to have the lights “on”. That way i can see and know what i’m touching, and if i’m going to get slapped, i can see that coming too. Nice poem. Well done.
