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.
:))

[winter;lyra]

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.

[Gee]

Mr Jordan, good morning. Loved this. Being the soft hearted Southern fella I am, better tell you that many a night I nod off to sleep holding my much better half (!!) hand....psssst, don't tell anyone

[Tony Jordan]

Gee ...Gee...Gee....oh Gee, we all know on here how much you are still in love with your totally (better) half. That's a match made in Heaven and no mistake. God Bless you both.

Thank you as always for your visit me old matey.I appreciate it greatly.



psst I just heard it's a toss-up between the I.C.F. and Millwall as to which is coming round your gaffe to give you a doin for being a poof

[Gee]

LMAO, my how politically correct this Wednesday morning finds you old bean, proof, LOL. Send 'em both round the ma in law and wife are both Scottish, they'll be getting the heed in the mush.....Hope you're well Tony

[Gee]

Even this poxy kindle won't type poof

[Tony Jordan]

ah the old Glasgie kiss eh? lol
I'm good and all the better to see you in such fine fettle.

[Alisa Js]

I love this one...

Romance is always a pleasure and certainly a guarantee to light any fire within.

Wishing you well.

Alisa ;-0

[Tony Jordan]

Wow - you do. I'm so grateful Alisa. I've read your work and this is your park I'm playing in so that really gladdens me.

Thank you :))

[Alisa Js]

Hi Tony,

You can play in my park, anytime...

You are more than welcome.

Sending you thoughts for an Awesome New Year!!!

Alisa

[Tony Jordan]

Aww thank you Alisa. I think I may, it's quite beautiful here.
Have a wonderful New Year and I hope 2017 is your year.

Thank you very much for reviewing this one.
I appreciate your visit!

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Tony Jordan,
Memories are alive. Interesting how we all understand and know this. What a blessed thing.Thanks for giving me the center of what your poem came from. Kathy

[jacob erin-cilberto]

one of the reasons, i like this so much is that i really miss holding hands...people don't do it enough anymore...they walk behind or ahead...rather than beside.

thank you for this.....

[Tony Jordan]

like two christmas tree lights in circuit we glow ever brighter in this state don't we J?
Thank you - I hope you get to experience this feeling again soon my friend.

[Ken Simm.]

I find myself objecting to just one word here. Otherwise I find myself using the much abused word lovely. And another; loving. And another; beautiful. So there is just that one word you use that jars just a little. Should I mention it or not? I find myself asking.

[Tony Jordan]

Please do Ken.
I think I know which it is though.
:)
thank you Ken. I hope you had an agreeable Xmas?

[andrew mitchell]

Let the fingers do the talking starting with the entree, a caress. A master of love I detect Tony

[Tony Jordan]

I like your menu mate, but also I think if I were anything but a novice in the realm of love, I would be posting my poetry on her heart instead of here (no offence guys).
Thank you Andrew.

[andrew mitchell]

Lol..............sharing is caring! :-)

[Tony Jordan]

Haha - I hear ya!
xD

[Valentine]

Many do the caressing with no love involved. Valentine

[Tony Jordan]

For some it suits I guess.
Thank you for reviewing this one Valentine
:)

[Valentine]

Tony, some people date 2 or 3 different ones a month, have to find out which one they like the best. Kathie

[Tony Jordan]

modern love mayhaps Kathie.
One woman is enough for any man ...*wink*

[Valentine]

Did you mean, 'one at a time?' Kathie

[Tony Jordan]

well anything more is just being greedy - or some would say masochistic (not me you understand)

[Tony Jordan]

I think that should read sado-masoschistic lol

[Valentine]

Now you have me laughing, this is just a guy thing....right? Kathie

[Tony Jordan]

Lol.
I'm not that type of guy but yeah, it's 'out there' but very tongue in cheek - no make that 'tongue in fat lip' lol.

[Tony Jordan]

See now I've broke the guy code of Omerta and I will be 'fixed' haha.
I hope you're happy Kathie !!

;p

[Valentine]

I am laughing but was thinking...now you have stuck your foot in it.. Kathie

[Jimmy Yetts]

Not detecting much stealing, here.
Amazing methodology, though.
Quite lovely piece, Tony.

[Tony Jordan]

I know Jimmy.
This needs work.
Starting with the title.
Thank you as always my friend. :)

[Jimmy Yetts]

Did not mean my first line to be taken critically, Tony, it was meant as a compliment.
As far as I'm concerned, this piece is first-rate.

[Tony Jordan]

Aha, well I wasn't too happy with the title my friend even when I posted it or the description. I'm more happy now.
You're too kind.
