[hometext] => One of our amazing senses.
[bodytext] => ~*~ The Power of Touch Soft breaths from a sleeping baby, held gently to your cheek The sudden dampness that is felt, when their diaper springs a leak The prickly feeling of whiskers, when your father hugs you tight That warm all-over feeling you get, when mom kisses you goodnight Then there is that special touch, when your lover takes your hand You know the one I’m talking of, the one you can barely stand It’s followed by a precious kiss, that seems to melt your heart But most important in this verse, you’re one of the two parts And here there is a handshake, which also says it too This is a touch that means so much, and just wants to thank you A special hug from someone, that is given when we’re sad For it’s not nearly quite the same, as that given when we’re glad The cozy warming of a fire, on a cold harsh winter’s night The warmth from a hot chocolate, that has filled us with delight The feel of a warm towel, taken freshly from the dryer And then there are those certain songs, sung sweet by a church choir A sudden grasp at a child’s hand, when they need be put in check The scarf that’s thick and made of wool, pulled tight about your neck And a sloppy wet kiss you will receive, here now at this days’ end This one’s from your happy dog, who just wants to be your friend Sea-spray blown from the ocean side, when standing on the shore The sting of a wind-driven rain, let loose by a downpour And then there are the elderly, their outlook sometimes bleak The thank you that is in the eyes, when lips just cannot speak These facts that I have cited, are not meant merely to cajole They should not only touch your heart, but also touch your soul For there are so many touches, that few are mentioned here It’s that special power of touch, which is seldom felt through tears ~*~ [comments] => 2 [counter] => 242 [topic] => 48 [informant] => ZiggyB [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
