I think these two lines say it all:
touch me with the lights off
in a room full of stars
How more romantic can one get than this. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Once again, you presented us with a complete package.

This was a great tanka, Gypsy. The pictures were delightful. Your words showed that a blind man could touch you in that special way, you wouldn't mind. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed be n hugs!!!

I like your tanka poem - excellent picture presentation - number of syllables within the rules for count rules - poem paints a sensual picture of a lovers hands exploring - suggestion - still within the count rules - better continuity if you were to say: 'touches with the lights off' and skip 'me' a given - Just a suggestion Good Job AP

That "room full of stars" shows that the couple are enjoying all the "light" they need in their deep love and passionate embrace. Great job with your tanka poem!

Hi Gypsy Queen,
I truly applaud the sensuality of this thought evoking tanka poem.

Being as, I myself am a textural person who has always held the sensitivity of touch high with my spectrum.

One of the many hats I have worn relied on touch so that I performed to my highest ability... no, I wasn't a male escort *U*, it was my roll as a healer using remedial massage as my medium. I loved what I did until my hands and wrists turned against me... well really I turned against myself with the damage I cause myself through life.

So I guess what I am alluding to is that I not only read this beautiful poem... I feel and felt on a more textural plain.

Nothing but praise for the way you present and compose the magic of your art. Loved this one especially and definitely of six star quality.

With our thoughts we create...
a pathway to physical contact.

Kindest regards,
James.
