Hands

Young yet still seeming old
delicately they move and mold
with beauty aroused.

For things unknown or too large to handle
slow deliberate touch lights a candle
as faint brushes seem insensitive.

Anticipation meaning to perspire
icy while burning hot with desire
sensations have found a place to thrive.

Weathered and torn
having taken journeys forlorn
they persist deeply calloused.
