To impress as you wanted
Just me, nothing more...

Measures shadows on a face
With tactile numbers....

Technology rules
Forgetting
The pleasure
And tactile delight of books

At the very edge of life
bordered by the admonition
"Don't go", released 
to explore, expand knowledge
tangible, tactile
I found assumed freedom....

Naturally particular, normally pedantic, never problematic - pessimism notwithstanding.

Thoughtfully intuitive, interested in thinkers; tactile in time, nuance in tenderness....

life’s tactile musings
        swirled in silk calligraphy
             artfully adorned
  a keyboard’s chattered drone hails
    extinction – the soul dipped pen

Bronze blackened by fingers,tactile traces,three dimensional visual joy.Ideas from a prison freed ,imagination illumed displayed forever as movement in still life.Touch a dream,for and by us ,be touched...

He mentioned that she was beautiful.
He touched her
needing a tactile communion.

She pulled away affronted.

He wrote a poem about the incident
that later was used
as evidence against him....

a renaissance 
  pieta piece
a touch
  from our Lord
so
tactile

marbled sculpture
Frescos,
painted so bright
  fresh as yesterday

suspended above,
   in space
poiema
gifted
 by 
God's grace...

impressions
    in flashes
    & specks
become
    tactile:
startling
imagery
in
   primitive
   shapes,
exhuberant
fervent
with
  a candid
       agenda
to
   externalise
inner
shades
   of
      memory...

SENUALISTA
flickering
   fascinations
impressions
streaming
   in tactile
textures
vibrant
estatic
   emotions
       stimulating
improvisations
in
imaginations
  exhiarations
through
  time
     &
        space

Paper art was tongue steeped wet,
Midnight’s swim in gel.
Tactile only silhouette,
Dense unseen new shell.

Dawn’s hot shower could not clean,
Midday’s warmth woke me.
Slow cures had tapped time’s canteen,    
Blotter’s spell rinsed free....

From
scented
wildflowers
to falling snow
or a twinkling star,
Nature's ubiquitous.

She's an interactive
all-encompassing
omnipresence,
the tactile
face of
God.

surrounded
by the inquisitive
the thinkers, searchers
binky dependent
“toddleresque”
Inquisitors
exploring
in tactile glee
a world of wonder.

I am blessed
for they invite me
to feel
to investigate
the simplicity
of knowledge.

Each whispered word,
the lovers heard;
Each lingered look,
thrills on tenterhook;
Each tingling touch,
as fingers clutch;
then caress and cleave-
Feelings heighten and perceive
a senuous smile,
on lips,tactile;
Twinned thoughts unlaced,
held in passion's embrace....

I cannot

see the ocean

of air

that engulfs me

though I inhale it

and depend

on it

for my life

and yet

I feel its

tactile touch 

tickle my bare skin

as it morphs into a

breeze

and flows over me

"Peek-a-boo," Chucky said to me
Seek and hide, we played
Meek was I when I hid
Leek I smelled as Chucky swayed.

Agile Chucky prowled inside the house
Fragile was I when I shrugged
Tactile is he whenever he talks to me
Ductile was the glass floors when Chucky got mad and thugged....

Bitter Nightshade 

Too late now for an Intercessor--
My red, Luscious, Bittersweet berries 
Have done their work...and I'm Quiescent...
Ambivalent to your Tactile ruse 
Seen as the Quintessence and Arcane. 
Your Flamboyant tryst sealed my Immolation.
