My Two Hands

"Anything Handmade" contest

                                                      With just my two hands..
                                                       I created a warm heart ..
                                                      One that feels and loves..
                                                     I carved away all the hurt..
                                                     Then I saw it was my own..

fantasizing is stimulating .. my hands are my mind where u are concerned since miles keeping us from forbidden fruit.. but.. words have staying power and are more meaningful ... the depth of emotion never vanishes but continues to flourish... until production manifests.. I am always here for u Michael.. and dreams come true all the time... others considered.. nothing taken away from them.. with fantasies... the heart knows what it wants luv....J.G. in dream mode all day..

Michael, you know the beauty of your words never stop... gosh ,.. im not bragging but how do you do it... I bet your just a charmed man. Wiggled your way in lifestyle, because you belong. Yes you belong warming hearts.. you done mastered art in 2 ways. I have the perfect vision for this poem.. one is gods 2 hands. The other is your hands carving a heart and finding and swaving to the rhythm oh your own heartbeat.. only we create our happy hearts.. and than share the warmth through smiles,..p.d.
