When Your Body Tingled

When your body tingled, in concert with your mind
    goosebumps flowing up and down your spine
 
  Electricity surging through you
    to fingertips intertwined two by two

  When you seized your partner's head
    locked into kisses, 'twould never end

  And lighter than air your feet swept along
    to the melody of a distant song ... 

  You never pictured the finish line ~
    standing next to Father Time

The finish line of love not the beginning but the end…

All good things come to an end, is that it? Nicely done! :)

At least some get to end. Others just vanish into thin air...

AH, the thrill of the chase becomes the bane of the chaste

At first I thought you had pins and needles then your lovely poem gave me goosebumps, Silly Goose nee Old Duck.

See, S.G., there's life in you yet!! Remember the days of love, and come alive! (Like I did writing this)... Highly recommended: 'Let us Lie on Summer Grass,' a pic-poem combo posted today by Panagiota Romios. It was the inspiration for my poem. Hers is a ton better too! Cheers, Gershon
