Her fingers are wings.
They dance with laughter,
speak to me in more ways ...
Language is not just learned;
living is not just something to do.
She touches me. In the silence,
each one ripples until it flows
back to her bank. We walk,
arms around each other's waist,
hips touching creating their own conversation.
Her fingers explore my spine, trace
paths of discovery. My replies
run through goose bumps scattering
across her torso. We caste magic charms.
In the morning we blow steam off the coffee.
The sunlight curls around us.
We trace each other's lips,
feel our tongues touch finger
give birth to a new universe.
Without a sound we tell everything.

The 2nd entry
has quickly taken us from the woods and streams of the first entry straight to the bedroom! Wow, that was quick (though admittedly enjoyable). I almost fear to open the third installment!

This is a study in the arts of touch in the Silence. The first was Silence in Nature. But I give away to much and so much is in earning what is found in the search.
Thanks for looking at the way these poems not only focus on the love of one person but also dance together in their own way.
Peace & Love, Tom B.

There is something about water in love poems. It really represents so much, a cleansing...akin to baptism, comfort, and so on and so forth, it really it such an appropriate reference to mix and mingle into a love poem. There is a magic contained in love or that love creates...when a lovers touch, no matter how slight, or a lovers sigh can say so much more and contain more power than any spoken word. That magic is within this poem. Just excellent. Breathtakingly so. This is a swoony one
Love,
Ash

This is also part of a group called Silence. I wanted to capture the quiet and way it was part of love. But I think you understand. To see the next one just go to list at the end of the poem that say Thirty days thirty poems of love and click on next in list. I think you will love it as well.

Will do!

Wow. I saw another poem by you and had to click on it to see if all your poems were this good. And guess what? They are. You have a great voice in your work and I really love how you use imagery to speak for you mostly instead of telling. I really enjoy this and it holds so much affection and happy feelings that I can just feel my wide smile from reading it. You do nice work.

First, let me say thank you for making me a favorite. I am honored. Second, I am glad that this poem sang so sweetly out of the silence for you. It is one of my sweeter delights. It is part of my promise to write thirty love poem, one a day for thirty days. It has been a great and wonderful experience for me. Love Tom B.

Nicely Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is very nicely done!!! It is almost enchanting the way you worded it!! Sometime with love no words are needed just the tenderness of a kiss or a touch can send shivers throughout each other and send the message each desires to send!!! Thank you for sharing this with us it is very well written!!!~~Toni~~

Thank you. I have written several on Silence. What appears to be empty is often just an expression without all the noise.
Love, Tom B.

All I can say is that your words say so much with so little.....
I guess that the less is best thing you always tell me about is a great example here......
Your imagery, your play and choice of words are exquisitely chosen, and make the reader want to stay longer, wait for more.....
You are a great writer, and as each day goes by my respect and pleasure of having been mentored by you grows deeper within my heart. Thank you!
Be blessed with love and light always, and thank you for sharing your beaty in words not just with me but with many others that appreciate your masterful art.
Forever your friend,
AngelicMistress...Tanya*hug**hug**hug*
I love you very much, many regards to your spouse and a bear hug to the little one.

I am glad to hear you feel better, at least enough to come on the internet and say hi. We have missed your soft presence here.
Thanks for sharing how you loved this piece and for sharing your joy in reading it. My writing style has grown and changed since we last talked.
Peace & Love, Tom B.

I am glad that you find this rich
Be sure not to gain to much weight from the sweet thoughts that arise. Perhaps you will be like a feather wafted on a breeze from all the dreamy thoughts you please. It is obvious that I am tired and getting punchy. Thanks
Love, Tom B.

Without a sound...silence 'the knowing' the yearning of each other's needs! Sensual poem indeed. Lovely~ Sie

Sometimes to be more focused on our senses and less on what we say about them makes all the difference. Thanks for feeling the softness. Love Tom B.

Beautiful, passionate write with imagery in your words that allows us to feel love in the air.. Execllent wrote as always..

Thank you sis. I just tried to capture a moment when words were forsaken.
Love, Tom B.

I saw a contest on body language by Mary Cat. This would fit well in that one, too.
You know, thinking of new universes, I am so glad when I see beauty in this one, if the vision one with one in tenderness or something that makes a massive difference to humanity, to assure life of its worth. Actions speak more than words.
How blesses we are when we find roses!

This one captured more than I realized at first. I wish I had an editor at home who could tell me how good they are and where they need work and stayed with me. My wife tries, but she is my wife and not my editor and they are not the same.
I am all tangled up in being in the now and my mind is trying ever so hard to convince me how important it is. I know a tool when I see one. I visit my roses often, not for the aroma but because I love the way color moves through them. Be blessed and know peace.
Love, Tom B.

This is romantic and loving...
Soft and real....
Simply gorgeous, my friend...

When we accept that we have no alternative but to truly be present with the one we love, we shift the paradigm. We choose our experience with them over our discussion about the qualifications of the experience. The good, bad; right, wrong; like, don't like discussion that always intercedes between us and what is actually happening.
Thanks for all of your kind words. May I continue to deserve them and may you always shine with love. Be well and be at peace.
Love, Tom B.

Exemplifying and Heartfelt
Thank for sharing a most wonderful way of using karma, to feel one enter soul & spirit in sensuality
sets your emotions free to venture, into the realms of passion. I adored this read, it's magnificnet...excellent writing!.......novy

When we are not caught by our mind in discussions of our experience, we can be present. When we are truly present to the one we love they know and can begin releasing themselves from the safety of their own internal conversations. When we are as one there is no past nor future.
Love, Tom B.

Love the sounds of silence and all else that comes with it. Great flow and interesting visuals - another one in the series of love poems - so sweet.

Thanks. Been working this from all different angles. it has been calling to me. Love, Tom B.

A silence between two people in a conversation felt and seen but not heard, you do this so well where you feel you are present to the scene and yet there is nothing to be said. Really an unnecessary evil..words Love, C
-

Been working with Silence as you have noticed. You are right. Being really "present" precludes all language. Love, Tom B.

pretty, as usual
-

You are so far behind. This is my newest but you should read the others.honest
LovemTom B

Dripping sensual silence yet more conversation going on than what is heard but rather what is seen....love this!
-
-
We rarely look at how we listen or what we recieve from someone else. We are too often involved in a conversation about what to say next or the value of what their are saying. Try just being present. Not focused on them or trying to hear them as they mean to be heard. Those are all conversations about the experience before you even know what you are experiencing. Just be present. Totally. You'll know. Then words will not be necessary.
Love, Tom B.
