Hands

Oh hands.
So beautiful and perfect!
How I dream about your hand in mine!
Take my hand!
Ask for it!
Lace your fingers through mine!
Hold it!
Oh, our hands!
So expressive!
Even when sad, and wringing!
Or giving you the finger!
Or making a fist!
Even when waving hello!
Or, goodbye!
Shaking a hand is a wonder!
So sturdy!
Hands that work!
Hands that play!
Hands that know how to draw!
Or play an instrument!
Oh the opposable thumb!
Oh, gorgeous hands!
Making me tremble as I watch yours on the steering wheel!
Or holding a pen!

Hands I LOVE YOU!

The Moon

Oh moon, beautiful moon.

My love gazes at your face

and maybe sees me

Goddess, legend, myth and companion

Moon, I love you
