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. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

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. ========================== another ~weekend~ of inspriration baby? I know...I know... "only women bleed" ... hold on to that key...its yours... love you me twin... me *********** 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~ 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 ! ~*Mom*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
