Poetry: Her hands 29-01-2010 - by Linear   (59 words)

The magic of love


Her hands
Gentle, soft,
Bring comfort.

Her hands
Precise, strong,
Bring justice.

Her hands
Adept, firm,
Bring pleasure.

In the forest
She labours under
Amethyst moonlight.

Head bowed, eyes closed,
Skin peppered with
Shadows and light,

Her hands weave
Raw magic and
My oldest dreams.

Her glistening form
Painted with light,
Beckons to me.

She smiles, eyes flash.
This woman of
Air and lightning

Drawing me near.
Her divine beauty,
Enthralls me.

Without fear,
Leaning closer,
We touch.

And her hands
Tenderly fill
My world with colour.

Wow, it's been forever since you posted, but I suppose you've been busy with love, and creating this beautiful tribute to it and the object of that love.

I'm seriously impressed! When you decide to write a love poem, you kick ass! This is beautiful.

love,
jolen

Thank you so much, jolen. It has been some time since I've written something that could be posted. And I have indeed been busy with love, the inspiration for this piece.

Thank you again for the kind and sweet comment, I am so glad you like this poem, and that you think it kicks romantic poetry ass!

Love,
D.

I agree with that Ms. Jolen of swollen fame. To be frank, I'm scared shitless no to (-; A really impressive piece. Good to see you back. The beagle named Bernard - he say 'woof'. As you can see, I'm still crap at commenting. It doesn't mean I don't know what I like though. And this I likes. Well done fella.

Hey Linear, this is a superb bit of love poetry. The last 4 stanzas really build the mood to a.... er climax... no pun intended. I'll raise a glass later to my missus for filling my world with colour. Great work.

Jay.

Thank you very much Jay! The end was tweaked a lot during editing... no pun intended either... I'm glad you like how it turned out. Love is a wonderful thing, and capturing even a part of that in word form was a struggle!
