The Feel of His (or Her) Hands
Poetry or prose about the first time you held someone's hand. Tag me!
I just feel you
A whisper touch..
Not sinister
Or weird.
But the first time,
I take your hand in mine..
You're dead.
Cold but soft..
Or is it warm,
The fingers, now blue.
I've never seen you,
I just feel you.
As I hold your hand under the sky.
You trusted someone?
Or did he lie?
The darkness under your lashes..
I fail to find
The reason
Why you died.
Pale face and
Still frame
A stationary wind..
I've never seen you
I just feel you.
The time when death grinned..
The metal
Strikes the mud.
Your new home.
Your eyes will rest
In silence
.. Till unknown.
The willow weeps
For the
Souls of the neglected.
I've never seen you,
I just feel you.
As I let go of your hand.. Verdict accepted.
