One Single Impression: Vellicate

Good Lord, no.
Don't touch me.

Stay right there.
Smile if you must.

Talk.

But do not touch.

No, there's no damage here.
No back story
No single thing I need you
To help me through.

No way to elicit my gratitude
And then bargain with it.

Call it a dare.
Touch me
Move me
Make me (sweet Jesus ) think.

Only do it without your hands.

Good Lord, no.

Say something.
The right thing.

Touch me.

I dare you.

You touch me with your words. The change takes place in us, sometimes we are not even aware. Powerful!

Dear Sandy,
in this short time 'knowing you', this feels to be one of the most strongest pieces you have done.

A deep bow in respect for you and your writing. Impressed.


Please have a good Sunday you all.

This certainly got me to twitch. Will he or won't he. Does she really want him to or not...

A dare to touch
Pleases me so much,
A clever verse, of course.

Fast and nice, and now the edge to do what one has been asked not to do, touch me, I dare you

DeLi said...

this speaker really knows how to tickle:)

Jingle said...

teric said...

Exceedingly provocative!

deb colarossi said...

oh, I'll have to reread this one :)

clever.

Wayne Pitchko said...

very good indeed......thanks for sharing your words

Hmmm.....No teasing, no game-playing here. When I saw the prompt for this week, I thought of the men I have known who have attempted to play what they have believed to be my vulnerability to their advantage--which is to say to try to bed me down. Because men will try anything and walk away and not care at all, a woman needs to stay ahead of the game. That's not playing or teasing. That is surving with honor. I know the game so well.

colleen said...

A poem with attitude.

Not Joe Klein.

Ramesh Sood said...

This is very powerful Sandy.. and you indeed know life well.. now I would refrain from calling it a game..

Nanka said...

I liked the power of your bold dare!

gabrielle said...

Truly a worthy challenge, Sandy. And may the BEST man win!!!

It is critical to trust one's intuition and to set and maintain boundaries accordingly. Most of all to articulate what is important. You have done this brilliantly.

Oh- I loved the dare you put out there...just perfect!!! Have a great week- Happy March (finally)
