Sitting here with you,
my fingers trace your face,
gently touch the stubble,
soft on your chin.
You close your eyes, and
trust my hand to be careful, but
mostly you trust my heart.
Your eyelashes flutter, ever so slightly.
Then, eyes still closed, you lean into me.
I hold my hand, inches away from your forehead,
and you grin,
feeling my essence without touch:
somehow, knowing I’d edged closer to you,
without vision.
I skim your bare shoulder with my cheek,
your body relaxes, safe.
I close my eyes, not touching you,
nor you, me.
Still I feel you here.
We suddenly giggle in concert,
surprising us both.
Then intimate, comfortable quiet,
no need to speak a word.
Your hand touches mine tenderly,
and somehow, I knew it would.
I feel you, am aware of your presence,
your essence
around me, in me, through me.
That space between us floats our Beings together.
We are connected,
beyond the physical,
and into the mystical time,
where our souls live.

Great blog, did you use wordpress or blogengine? I made few blogs myself
It takes time but it is worth it!
You are a “wordsmith” of the highest order.
Send your work to Maya Angelou. I am sure that she is an artist who will read, review and promote your efforts.
Thank you Littlepatti, what an honor to receive such a compliment. I have no words to express my gratitude to you. I’m glad I read your comment, first thing in the morning, as I sat sipping my coffee. You’ve added an enormous highlight to my day! ☺
Janet! I didn’t know you could write like this. I mean, I knew you could write……….but this is exquisite! It’s truly breathtaking. I’m in awe. And in love…with your words.
This morning I was thinking of my soulmate and trying to come up with a little song to hum by myself (even if I sing off key, lol) about how our love is forever even after death, and here you shared a poem that captures the essence of what I was trying to express. Beautiful!
Now that is serendipity !!! Well, let me know if you come up with a tune! I, like you, have nooooo ability to carry a tune; “off-key” doesn’t even come close to describing it. And that’s always surprised me, whenever I’ve opened my voice to sing, when it doesn’t come out the way it should. I believe I was a singer in a past life, which is why I’m so shocked that I cannot carry a tune.
Thanks! ☺ Janet
