Hand-Eye Coordination

Long fingers that might
Dance across a piano,
Or perhaps trace little,
Beautiful patterns on
Pale, ivory-white skin…
Hands that would love,
Hands that would hold,
Secure me, assure me…
Please, love me with
Those elegant hands, if
You cannot bear to love
Me with your heart;
Because I love you with
My passionate heart - it
Will never fail you, I
Swear - though I cannot
Bear to love you with
My hands, that are tiny
And rough, for lack of
Care.  Could your hands
Make me soft again?
Yes, I think they could.

Skin so white, it's like
Polished ivory, and
Eyes rimmed in black,
Hair falling over soft
Shoulders in pools of
What must be pure silk…
She is darkness, and
Beauty, and…love.  It
Is simple, because she
Is everything, love,
Hate, pleasure, pain…
Yin and yang, black
And white, and her
Eyes reflect it all from
Deep within her soul.
She doesn't know, but
I see.  If only her eyes
Would see me, see me
For love, and love me
At first sight.  If only I
Had the kind of eyes
One loves with…
