Only words

Minds seek, match, collide
Tender feelings reach inside
Words thrill, slip and slide
Align within, without, beside

Very innards of the soul they find
Gently they prepare the mind
For receipt of only dear and kind

Longing like a faded song
Wanting trailing soft along
Ribbons of hope bright and strong

The sweet song of words is such
Seducing heart and mind so much
What effect then would have touch?

'love is when you don't have to be with someone to touch their heart'...the old saying goes...and it's so true, but, I sure do be likin' 'da 'fect of touchin'...bein' touched, touchin 'dis and 'dat and 'dis agin'..let's all stay in touch...woo wee! 'dat's what I'm talkin' 'bout baby!....once touch is deemed acceptable between the parties (sounds like biology class, but I'm in a hurry), a sense of wonder frees our hearts, minds, souls,...cornucopia has thrown open it's barriers...oh, pretty poem joy....(I love the beegees song 'Words'...and 'Holiday' as well)

What effect then would have touch?

A need to never have twisted it.

Let this poem that you write stay for ever

well CJ...seems as if you've outdone it again ;-) the visions and emotions these particular words bring forth are veeery soulful. more than words really.

"What effect then would have touch?"

to this day, the touch of a woman on a first date causes me to..., er, I'm way to modest to tell you, but, suffice it to say, that it's gooood...

nice as always, Carol...
