Hands Laid Bare

~~+~~ Interlaced fingers, palm against palm... warmth and tenderness emanate; Love and affection abound within the clasp. Comfort and strength, passion, emotion... all laid bare within each caress; Mind, body, soul revealed within the grasp. These fingertips alone hold the vastness of the sea; these hands you long to hold comprise the very heart of me. Mine tell all ~ take these hands and come to know me. ~~+~~

I really have to 'hand it to you,' HT. This s a beautiful poem. Hands express so much of a person's essence and persona. Thanks, Gershon.

To me walking hand in hand is such a romantic gesture ... a sign of love. We have some couples that still do this at work. Love this one. Beautiful my friend :) hugs
