Hands

The truth is this
I may miss lips
And the feel of them
Against the bare skin
Of my neck...

I miss fingers 
Wound between my own

I miss kissing
The palm of his hands
And the security 
In always having 
A hand to hold
On crowded streets
Or sitting on the train

What I wouldn't give
For the security
And warmth in 
The feel of fingers
Laced with mine
And a thumb tracing 
Patterns along my wrist

It would take so little
To undo me
To catch my heart up
Just your beautiful hands
Touching mine

(72) Breaking

You touched my hand
& I nearly jumped out of my skin
was I supposed to expect the
tremor through my veins
I just keep chanting,
'This will never work'
because how could you feel the same
& even if you did
what then?
The scandal it would make
but
what I wouldn't give for you
to touch me again
