Barely Touched

Barely Touched

 

They barely touched

But they touched…. no less

Electric

Then they danced some more… because

 They knew they could and…

 

Just for the hell of it

 

And when they touched again

They both knew

There could be no doubt and…they might

Just get away with it

[Samuel Dickens]

The magical, intoxicating splendor of first contact is something most of us never forget. Thinking about it--who in their right mind would want to? In the last part, you show us how it all involves a bit of risk in "getting away with it". Something that good must not be legal--right?

[Neville]

Hope its legal Samuel, otherwise my missus would have my guts for garters, so she would, I know what ya mean tho and so much thank you for it dear friend.... Neville

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Sometimes touching isn’t needed to be for touching- the connection between two people touches without touching- what s wonderful feeling that is- so when you finally do touch it’s electrifying- wonderful words and thoughts🌹

[Neville]

Ah' you been there too I can feel it in me water.....yes that electric spark sure is something... Ta a million for taking time to consider these words of mine, tis appreciated and always welcome... Neville

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

And you are most welcome anytime🌹

[Norman 223]

The shock of the new.......And then the sparks flew. It's been 53 years, but I can still remember...... Thanks for the reminder Neville.:-)

[Neville]

Time flies like the wind and fruit flys like bananas.. bless ya Norman..... Neville

[Cherrie]

That spark of life is e brilliant force, and I like the way You spotlight the moment and not quite answer the question at hand. You did a marvelous job of creating atmosphere.

[Neville]

[Mrudula Rani]

An encounter set a spark, and entwined their souls in a dance, they knew they have to take this up to the next step... because they know that they might get away with it!

[Chris Shaw]

I can remember a few moments like that along time ago, when sparks flew. I liked the way this poem progresses and your final couple of lines....they might
Just get away with it
I was left thinking, did they, didn't they and it must be about an illicit affair otherwise, maybe those words would have been different in the final lines. You have left me in limbo Neville. Great read and good morning.

[Neville]

A smile of a post, has that joie de vie the Fremch know all about. Perhaps you could brew it ready for the Spring/Summer season! Sizzle, sizzle, dance and twizzle, perhaps?

[Neville]

thank you emmajoy, my cup of tea then... maybe I get that joie de vie from my French side... after all, Pettitt is said to be a corruption form of Petit.. tho maybe, I am just corrupted... merci...N
