His smooth hands
Find their way to hers.
Holding,
Calming,
Easing.
Gentle yet rough,
Soothing yet strong.
They waited in the shadows,
Until she provided light.

She says he can
Transform the world
With just one flick
Of his wrist.
With those loving hands,
He held her heart
And laced it
With his.

WOW.  When I read your poems I wonder how you can do it, how you can pick out the right words and make it flow perfectly.  Keep up the good work!
