About the Poem
This is a tribute to the man I have loved since childhood, my dear husband. I expect I will feel the same when I am ninety. He brings out the girl in me still.
Your Touch |
| by Rosemary J. Gwaltney |
| Your hands and your eyes speak louder To my heart than life Move my mind more swiftly than the wind Flare my soul with more heat than the sun Melt my body more tenderly than water The touch of your big hand So loving on my welcoming skin Ever awkward from your boyhood Endearing in its uncertainty Even after thirty-six years Its rough skinned warmth Speaking worlds of love to me In its eternal gentleness - So reassuring through life's storms ... Even the one when you were flung Behind the glass - apart from me; For even in that nightmare time, The matching of your hand to mine Still comforted my spirit As ever it will do As ever it will do |
