tactile .osi


~ ' her gaze in braille ' ..





i keep groping for words

a tangy nothingness
this palpable ether
it leaves language behind
but works out the meanings

a ripple of rainbows
reverberates with scent
it is only her gaze
that has touched my insides

with no baggage of words ..

    Even not having words can leaves us being touched in some way.

    Ah the feel of a gaze--ineffable, yet we search for the words.

    yes. so true. I especially like the lines:
    "it leaves language behind/but works out the meanings"
    We can indeed establish meaning without words.

    Sometimes a gaze can speak things that mere words can not express... enjoyable read.

    racing oak leaves over the weir
    your intent profile turns to my call
    flashing smiling glints of sun
