Oh, bloody hand with such a gentle touch, So tender hand that soothes fevered brow, You walk amidst the one unfortunate And remain calm and so serene somehow. Oh bloody hand wiped on coat of white, Walking between broken bodies that scream, With only a thin smile to ease their pain, Comforting those within the hellish dream. Oh bloody hand the shakes in deep fatigue Resting not while others collapse in sleep, Eyes grown glazed and red watching the dying, Continuing on not stopping to weep. Oh bloody hand what difference you make, With just a caring touch cruelty you slake. Gloom |

Thank you, Serenity, I guess you liked the poem, Me lovely? You must be delusional, I write a simple sonnet about death and destruction And you think sweet and lovely. I must say I don’t know that song, And I don’t think I want to know it, Since it has obviously already warped some minds. Gloom |

It is the compassion the hand gives that makes this poem. No matter what the horrors shown the caring of a single hand touches the soul and heals it. Very well done. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Thank you, Startime, Glad you liked this, Compassion of a bloody hand, Yes perhaps that is what makes this poem. I like dichotomy and use it in my poetry. Although I figure with a title like Bloody Hand Most won’t read it. Gloom |

Well if others call you lovely, they can see the truth through your words...my eyes have known...yes even when writing the darkest, a warmth comes through as does your talent. As Always, ~Wynter "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |
