Poem Artwork


Whatever beauty may be, it has for its basis order, and for its essence unity.
      - Father Andre


 


Even today
when I look down at my hands
I think of yours
Of how they rested on the table
just inches from mine
Perfect and beautiful
With the power to make my heart race

I know this is silly
we’re talking about hands
just hands
But I remember how much
I wanted to slide
my hand into yours
Feel your fingers wrap around mine
feel your strength
feel your grip
As if that grip would have changed
our outcome

And now
tears run down my face
in remembering how close I was
to always touching you
only to wind up so far

Sara - There are volumes of poetry and love letters which no one has put together (or have they?). Your work would occupy a prominent place in such a book.
We hear about hearts and the role they play in love and romance, but it is seldom that the most active participants in love makes the list of players. You make them the lead, the necessary, the star. ...And, how lovely you write about the hands of those who love.
This poem is being printed and punched, and will go in my special book...a three-ring binder , labeled, "Sick Bed! -or the Last Thing I want to Read!" Thanks for sharing a keeper gem. - Bill
