Touch

sudden reminiscence

and there you were 

a daydream in your delicate palm 

I watched your eyes race the sky

and heard your sigh

as you fell to your knees

to the mirror of dark waters  

beckoning a rainbow from sullen clouds


my Time machine

of crickets and songbirds 

the summer wind , and a million stars 

a music box  

as the universe spun around us 

brilliant and huge 

this unknowing , this adventure we called love 

between goddess and prince 

a violin and bow 

stillness
 
permeating silence

such are the secrets 

of touch , and the sky 

and the mandala 

of her eyes ...

I'm always amused by your writings. A solemn jouney of beauty and tragedy. However; there's a certain amount of sadeness....the joy of your words shadowed, by yesterdays sorrow.

Rosin makes the the glove hold tight to the bull rope,they have eight seconds together, Man and bull,about the time it takes to read this poem.Not very long,yet here it is still upright in my head a vision,like the lights and crowd's cheers,scoring the way we painted their night Well done Robin.

[Robin]

You write of a "touch" that is in touch with "a million stars"-- wow, that's cool:)
