here's my hand...
--The back of it-
FEEL IT.
  taste your blood of spit.

here's my hand...
--around your throat-
TASTE IT.
  may you feel the choke.

here's my hand...
--within? the key-
KISS IT.
  it will set you free.

take my hand...
--kiss my ring-
ETERNAL GIFT
  of everything.

see my hand...
--it's beckoning-
THE STING
  of sing of stifling.

This hand, he offers
  willingly
a hand that holds
  the golden key
this hand, caresses
  endlessly
hands of thief
  
rob best in me...

where are the hands
that nurture me?
are they hands
  wave seemlessly
goodbye, goodbye,
  goodbye to me?

I hope this isn't from personal experience, because I've been there, and hands should only nurture, protect and honor, not hurt.

I know...I know...
"only women bleed" ...

love you me twin...

***********

I wish for hands of healing ...
for an empowered, gentle touch.
So that I might lay my hands on you,
so that I might be your crutch.

I wish for understanding eyes ...
for vision to see on thru.
So that I might then help you to see,
so that thru my eyes ... you might finally see you.

I wish for a forgiving heart ...
for the gift of unconditional love so true.
So that I might share this gift so rare,
so that love's venial touch would then embrace you.

I wish for an enchanted poets pen ...
for which to write perfect rhyme and verse.
So that I might find the words to say,
so that I might write the lines that would free you of this curse.


Janet Marie

*wrote this a ways back for another special poet...
seems to apply again.
take care of you for me...

Intense hurt here. Betrayal, crushed heart, I'm not sure of the story, but it rings true, and is well-written and powerful.




The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G.

S'en, you know I'm not usually without words
to describe what your work makes me
feel...but being the rare and beautiful poet
that you are...I'm indeed without the
words...simply know that I love you my
friend and my hands and my heart are always
outstretched to you~


You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~

serenity-
   wow..this is so powerful!
   you are amazing!
   i'm glad to hear that this
   is a past experience and not
   something that you are going
   through now...although i wish
   you wouldn't have experienced
   something this painful at all.
   awesome write!

   hugs to you,
   -vicky

Serenity~
This is indeed intense -
and it had BETTER be fantasy -
cause they've got a 11:05 a.m. flight outta Orlando International
and I'm up to kicking butt !
