He asked of me
to just do this:
"Kiss your hands,"
and I asked, "why?"
"Kiss your hands"
he asked again,
so sheepishly, I complied,
and told him that I did.

"Do that for me every day."
Again I asked him why.
"Just do that for me,
will you, please?
Until the day I can."

Hey, do it for me too til I can.

Are hands the limit or is there some room for expansion in there??

Excellent idea and you say a lot with so little words! No easy task at the best of times.

you do know how precious this is, dont you?
yes...you know...

I refuse to accept that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism & war that the daybreak of peace can never be reality.

He sounds like the kind of man whose hands  I would like to kiss!
He sounds so sweet & sensitive!

Mornin' hugs,

Did I interpret this correctly. While reading this, I thought of a husband/wife or 2 lovers separted by a thick glass window, as if the man was in prison and making the request.

Enjoyed.

Interesting interpretation, Opeth...
there are many forms of prisons...

and sometimes the glass walls can be
quite opaque...

this may form into a very interesting thread
when our Serenity arises...

Ahhh yes, kiss your lovely hands

And gently, hold the spirit of my love

Till I can replace it, with the

moistness of my lips, upon yours


It’s nice how creative love can make you!

This was so nice Serenity!


I was once told to kiss something else...

I said, “OK, now what?”

And she said, “Nothing, that’s all.”


???

Oh, that's fine....that's just so fine....

A beautiful thought, and beautifully expressed.

A blushing thank you. Funny? For all the fancy stuff and word hoops I TRY to jump through, it's so often the simplest things that touch people's hearts--I'm happy to share some of the "good moments" with you all.

Hugs to Forum!

serenity...gotta agree with all the others, and you...this is simple and so sweetly loving.  I hope you didn't make it up and someone really did say this to you...if not, they should!  Hugs!
