Touch

What is within a person


Can be easily transmitted to another


Through the simple power of touch,


The magic in one’s hands


 


Fingers close on a troubled shoulder


Without a word, the message conveyed


“It will be okay, I am here.”


And the storm within is calmed


 


Fingers pass deftly over instrument strings


The touch of the player stirs the souls of many.


A stroke or head rub quiet a beloved pet


And comfort the spirit of the one who pets


 


And fingers lightly sent across cheek to ear


Gently push back hair as passion ignites


Erotic, sensuous fingertips on skin


Electric currents flow throughout

This is a nice work...one can see the thoughts as they grasp touch and from magic to soothing, to the very sensual of exotic there is still that inescapable pleasure felt ...

from touch...

Karen, the touch of healing energy is the most profound. Have you ever been on the receiving end of such a touch? You will never forget it, when you do.
Very well written and alive with touching imagery.
Peace, Love, and Light,

I really enjoyed your message of the power of touch. Even a hand shake or a pat on the back can be uplifting.

Completely accurate. Thanks for touches! I love them, although we learn who to touch and who not to touch. Usually, fans of the 'touch' come looking for it. Much obliged.

Yes..you are so right. Doing my new postition as store Santa it is amazing how many perfect strangers (young and old) give and receive little touches to Santa but yet would not do the same to their own family members...give a hug this Christmas...it is free and tells someone you care.

Just the mere act of "Touching" sounds off so much, depending on who and how we do it...it can change within seconds...whether it be out of empathy, love or even anger...
"Touch me and I'll kill ya!" LOL!

I love touching in love...
Here's to the fingers of your mind!
That is touching,,, and this "Touch" is great!
Love and Peace~

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
