Touching love

touch her 

fingertips with yours in

a slow methodical 

dance of the digits from index 

to pinky 

then thumb press gently forward 

and feel 

the resistance melt 

let your palms find each 

other

feel both souls reaching ~ 

illuminating

knowing

forgiving

promising

loving

I'm not a big fan of romance - here I go again - but, you've done it again, you can not only do it with emotions, you can also do it with simple acts, make them into thingies like this that can actually tempt me to get into romance, it is as if each frame of a single motion was captured and worked on by hundreds of artists - well not exactly like that, altho I like you I still wont say you're this great, neither am i dangit, but i like how you're able to "capture" these "frames" and the beautiful way you do it

[Tony Jordan]

Lol - this great or that great - anywhere on the 'great' spectrum will do me all day Winter but I don't pursue greatness - I'd hate to start writing Tony the Great lol.
Thank you for reviewing another of mines.
I think the romance track might be interesting for you to experi-ment creating thingies ;p
I appreciate your visits dear poet.

I have experimented it @_@ was awkward the few times i delved into that strange place

[Tony Jordan]

Love is awkward by definition so you must have been tapping a good seam.

[Vaporvision]

Starting off with "touch her" gave the poem an interesting feel from the beginning. Jokes aside, this is a simple but beautiful piece of work. The true emotion behind a good relationship is more than what's on the surface, or even who it's with. It's about the pure, raw emotion, deep down within oneself. Being true to others and to yourself is more important socially than anything you could do. Love is powerful, but what is behind it... What CREATES love... is the strongest combination of emotions that could come forth unto someone else. Beautiful poem, just a little confused by the spacing.

[Tony Jordan]

Hmm... I see where you're coming from P. E. re the opening. I think I can improve on that.
The spacing... the last five lines was an attempt to make the reader visualise a joining of the finger tips one by one then the palms.
Thank you so much for your words P. E.
Invaluable to me.

This is illuminating to my heart. Ignites all aspects of love, loving and being loved.

Composed perfectly, dancing with words eminently. Each line fits in its rightful place and each word follows the path into enlightening one to the essence of love and respect.

Awesome work, to say the least. Beauty captured majestically.

Gives me chills.

[Tony Jordan]

Wow. I'm blown away by this review LR.
Thank you for such encouragement

[Manu]

Those ending words are not just written to capture readers attention but to teach that real love is about those 5 words...This speaks volume Tony ...Very mesmerizing write!
I am surely gonna keep these words in my mind (illuminating, knowing, forgiving, promising and loving)
Nice and deep one !

Lol...that captcha magic, not quite as magical as this though TJ, you romantic! Smooth silky read. Starz x

[Tony Jordan]

Haha - you're the only one to catch that captcha methinks Starzy.

How do you keep looking more beautiful with each avatar pic?

You capture the simple symbols and gestures that are shared between people who connect and care and desire. The down to earth contact that lights a fire. Your avatar is spooky though; like some scary movie.

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you John. I appreciate your words. The avatar is a real slice of onion I kept from making spagbol. I laughed when I saw it. I was also crying from cutting it. it's an ironic onion, lol. I never thought it could be spooky.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you Coyote. I think these words are part of a list that is present when true love is present.
Thank you for your review.
I appreciate your visiting this one.

[Coyote Poetry]

Always my pleasure and you are welcome my friend.

[DIVYA]

This is so romaantic and beautiful. I believe in love again ❤

[Tony Jordan]

It is a good thing to believe in - even though we get hurt a lot in keeping the faith. Martyrs to love i guess...lol (I know...I can be soooo melodramatic)
Thank you DIVYA. I appreciate your visit very much.

[DIVYA]

You are most welcome. It was a lovely read.

[Jddcbjiuh]

Very nice style here, I love the words in the end all expressing the emotion of love and content. Two souls reaching for each other is a very magical thing, nice piece.

[Tony Jordan]

Souls do what they are wont to do. We can go along (usually a good idea) or not (chaos ensues). The magic of touching is something else - I mean...even a hug sends oxytocin and seratonin whizzing around us.
I digress...
Thank you very much Nini for your kindness.

[Michael X]

Romantic and stylish work Tony, you have a skilled way of using words, keep it up!

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you Michael. I am forever a student of the word like everyone here.
Happy New Year my friend!
