Hands

hands to hold to touch
hands to write a thousand words
and wipe away tears
hands to embrace to caress
hands to quell sweep away fears.

The touch of a hand can say all that words can't express! However, your words have expressed what they cannot express...their own beauty and usefulness. Great write, Harry! :)

I used to draw hands when I was younger and like Andy I think they are the most sensual part of the body, they can say and do so much, excellent subject xx

I love your subject, Harry. For me, hands are the most sensual part of the body. For the fact that you can evoke so much emotion in a person just by holding their hand even while in public. Lovely.

You've opened a vault of precurious possablities here Harry. It would be interesting to see how many ways hands could be used to describe different things. Rock on Man! :)
