Your hands are always warm, <br />smooth and good to hold. <br />Still amazing beautiful too, <br />despite the scars and spots of age. <br /> <br />Your hands are broad and strong, <br />with Mount of Venus high <br />and nails (always manicured) <br />shaped like fine almonds. <br /> <br />Your hands move confidently, <br />deftly, like a woman's, <br />performing mundane tasks <br />with easy grace and style. <br /> <br />Your hands, some thirteen years ago <br />in Lygon Street, held mine. <br />And at that moment, I knew <br />we belonged together.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-hands/
