The pale porcelain veil
Of soft, tender skin
Upon my outstretched palms
Holds out for you

Waiting for you
To transpire
In the foggy luminosity
Of the misty morning sun

I am unsure
How long my arms have been
Stretched towards you
Or how long they will remain

My hands are too small
To hold out the wind
My muscles feeble
And my pale skin easily bruised

There isn’t much more
Of this ache
My porcelain hands
Can take

Not bad at all.  Loved the echo of porcelain in " foggy luminosity/Of the misty morning sun"

I'm such a sucker for great word choice:

"Waiting for you
To transpire
In the foggy luminosity
Of the misty morning sun"-- LOVED THIS! I can just see it.

The last stanza was particularly well written too.  I liked the use of rhyme; it gave the poem a sense of urgency/finality.

Great poem!

I like this very much... Welcome to Passions! *S*
