A Tap In My Shoulder

A tap in my shoulder
With your bare hands 
Soft and tender
Very comforting indeed
A twinkle in my heart
A broad smile in the face
The shiver in the body
Till the tip of the nails
The blood boils 
The heart beats faster
The warmth in the body
Emits a hot sweat
In the cold weather
A new day 
A joyful moment
Glorious indeed
The eyes widen
Like its dark in the night
Mouth agape in wonder
Of laughter or a smile
Side by side 
All new 
In paradise indeed
The freshness of the air
In a smoky place
So sweet to feel
The touch from you hand
The palm so soft
Don't let go
The moment is refreshing
Like water from a well

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
