My hands asked me what a kiss was
And I told them that it was

Sincerely
I felt
His handshake soft 
And neither
Time
Nor memory
Would eradicate

A Stranger's Handshake
The smell of smoke on his clothes.
The crack in his voice. 
The joy in his laugh.
The softness of his touch.
The clamor of his music....

Premium Member Clammy as a Dead Fish
   A handshake clammy as a dead fish
      is not meant to nourish or flourish

   It sends a signal to its receiver 
      You’re much too eager a beaver

Silent Handshake With Death
What road this death shall take
This road leads deep inside the woods
People request ice water in hell
Who shall stop and wait for
This silent handshake with death...

Your smile beams beyond our borders
Seeping through our untouchable air
Blaring through the beast of fear
Nearer than an arm pat or handshake
Breaking quarantine barriers

Premium Member A Handshake
Once, a handshake was all it took; a deal was struck, then hands were shook. But today, trust has all but died; and because lying is implied, we treat everyone as a crook.

Evolution of the Machine
How long will you manipulate the hand
Before it starts to control its own mind
Into a fist, a tool, a sad wave goodbye
To begin to see with the freethinking eye
Machines giving a handshake to their world...

Wages of Sin
Injected eyes,
Poached-egg lids,
Rosy cheeks,
While walking he reels.

Speech irrelevant,
Belly corpulent,
Handshake hot,
Language rot,

These will be the wages of sin,
For those who live on whisky and gin....

He Made a Killing
There was a bar at the top of Dead Man's Curve,
the owner of the joint had plenty of nerve.
He had a funeral home just down the street,
with a cold handshake he was happy to greet,
drunks and mourners he was willing to serve.

Premium Member My Hand Is Me
Here within my hand,
you will find all that is me.
Held open so you know,
I hide no treachery.
My fist is not in anger,
but closed against greed.
My handshake is my word.
My hand plants many seeds.
