Loving Hand
As I stretch out, my welcoming hand
To hold your loving hand
You are just within my grasp
I cannot reach you yet
My hand is as heavy as lead
If only, I could draw you near
If only, I had a pencil
I would draw you a picture
I just want to hold your hand
I miss you
I feel as if, you’re always at arms length
I wish I had an eraser to rub out
This negative space between us
You are so very near
Yet, so far away
All I want to do
Is to hold your tender hand
I know sometimes
You feel confined
I do too
As if, I’m surrounded by restricting wood
Unable to move freely
Yet, your hand has such an artistic flow and shows such flair
You sketch, as if, drawn by the sharpest artful pencil
You are supreme
Sharp and regularly shaved
Beautifully presented
I just want to hold your weary hand
I want to draw you close
As I try to hold your hand, once more
Your hand, I adore
