Best Touches Poems

My aged mother
she can't understand English...
feels my poems by touch

she touches the words
her frail fingers caressing...
smile in wrinkled face

'write a poem for me'--
'all the poems are yours my maa...
your grandchildren'





**My 100th poem here for someone so SPECIAL

Your touches are subtle enough to make my heart race 
They draw me closer to you, I get lost in your embrace 
An eternal fire is burning way down deep inside 
If only in your arms, I could crawl into and hide 

To hear your...

"The Touches that Touch"

Somewhere between traces and sensations
its the gentle affair, the touches that touch

Diamonds are not what I seek for you already gave
A fur has no place for you are the blanket keeping me warm
When you take me by the hand you are the...

I hear sounds of the wind hissing and rustling.
I listen on the beach to the waves cascading,
Slapping, tossing swashing the sand pebbles,
Something close to eternity within me touches. 
	
I see some gliding fishing boats over there, 
The seagulls soaring, gliding in the air here,
And Surfers...

Waves cascade
Seagulls soar, crabs scurry
As sounds recede, the silence rubs
Something close to eternity
Within touches.

This tanned wee white child of Welsh-English
With a bit of American Indian flowing 
like a creek running through the meadow;
p-h-y-s-i-o-l-o-g-y spelled out loud
Daddy was proud of his four year-old girl
raven haired, black eyes flashing with pride
feed sack dresses in pretty shades of pinks
the only thing...

I pray thee,
Bid me to stay.
Let me not leave thee,
Bid me to stay.

What am I desides thee?
You are my all in all.
Nevertheless I draw me away from thee.
I thirst to drink from your well.

Call to my mind that 
Soon the sea shall touch the sky.
Call...

If you touch me I bleed
so many perforated scars crissXcrosing,
if you touch me
I flinch
from cruel hands
the only hands i have ever
known.
If you touch me
I break
made whole only to be
broken again,
so
IF you touch me
let it be with
FIRM hands but gentle hands
for I
have bled by the hands

Love is like a butterfly,
Gently it touches on lives.
Just a tiny flutter; lifts high.
In awe we stand, watch strive.

Just a glance of kindness see, 
Restores a right spirit friend
More like a butterfly be,
As patiently he faces the wind.

Aspects of love through butterfly's 
Courageous flight; as...

Fantastic are your lines
That touches my heart very often.
So blunt and sharp are your pen Knife
That can cut anything.

I appreciate your words
I cannot resist reading you.
Each time you come up with
Themes so different.
Colourful are your poems
Not because I fell in love with you
But for your...

Touches of sorrow 

Today’s sorrows
Offer lonely reminders of
Unforgivable yesterdays
Causing the pain of endless
Heartbroken tomorrows

Jesus reincarnates on the earth plane
 and decides to open a medical marijuana dispensary.
 Although business is booming, 
he forgets to get the blessing of the DEA, 
and soon the IRS becomes his worst judas to date. 

Can the savior of psychedelics conjure a reason
