One finger lightly tapping
One finger softly heard
One finger turns to listen
One finger needs no words
One finger slowly beckons
One finger to one brow
One finger soothes the wrinkles
One finger - until now
One finger finds a giggle
One finger flicks a bug
One finger stills a tickle
One finger finds a hug
One finger shares its secrets
One finger shares its must
One finger full of hopeful
One finger snap of trust
One finger finds a dimple
One finger feels a scrape
One finger heals a scar
One finger drops a cape
One circles graceful pulses
One finger turns a dance
One finger feels it quicken
One eager for romance
One taps out a rhythm
One picks upon a string
One is gently strummed
One now starts to sing
One poised in broken silence
One gently tilted chin
One tastes of warming chocolate
One melts against the skin
One now tends a passion
One now fuels the fire
One now crosses in a wish
One aching with desire
One now pushes gently
One now hardly stops
One now bends to listen
One now slowly drops
One nibbled to a bead of heat
One finds a fist of silk
One tastes of salted jade
One tastes of heated milk
One finger draws the sun back
One finger leaves one trace -
One finger painted portrait
Upon one dreaming face.

Promise ... sing
I thought I had left a comment on this in April 2005 when I came to AP for the first time before leaving until December 2006 when One Heart Hears Finger was posted ... www.allpoetry.com/poem/2432587
Once again ... well deserving a more ample exposure

Quite the partner to my words. I'm touched. I especially like the call and echo effect between the two. hmmm... now you've got me curious.

Fasinating
Enchanting. Lovely and overwhelmingly beautiful I never thought of one finger...in all of those ways. Passion, love, hope, a finger I think, can express them all and you have illistrated this. -
This is a great poem. I havmt seen one written like this before but its really good. good job
-
I could give this the finger but I will give it applause instead. Well written.

Inventive.
Dear Jane,
This is one of your most remarkable writes. Very inventive
very well thought and very interesting.
Isn't it incredible what one finger can do and achieve?
And for a one finger typist like me it's unbelievable the trouble that one finger can get you into although one hopes that the same finger will spread love, friendship, hope,
advice, consolation, sympathy, happiness, joy and laughter
(or at the very least a smile rather than a groan!)
This write is just another oustanding example of your inventive powers and I ap-plaud it.
Love and hugs, XXX Hugh. -
Unique
Quite unique! Never falls into the boredom-trap of a tight format and the final verse is a stunner!
