Hands

Hands

A Poem by Alias

I love your hands
for all they do
and all they're yet to hold
for all they've learned
to write, to feel
Their adventures are untold

I love each callous 
for all it tells
of toil that you've spent
of endless hours
on things you love
your talents and intent

I love each scar
Each sun-kissed fold
That marked you in years past
the nicks, the cuts
That each have healed
But still they left their mark

I love your hands
for all they are
and all they're yet to be
they'll hold me tight
and live through fights
and they've left their scars on me

This needs some tweaks so please don't hesitate to make suggestions, there are a few weak lines I think

This poem is virtually perfect!! My only suggestion is to complete the rhyme with "past"/"mark", which is the only stanza that doesn't have a complete rhyme, and with the musicality, it's easily noticeable, and it kind of mars the poem a bit given the rest follows a rather systematic scheme. Otherwise, every line is brilliant!! Well done!!

Powerful and honest words. My favorite kind.
"I love your hands
for all they are
and all they're yet to be
they'll hold me tight
and live through fights
and they've left their scars on me"
The above lines solid and real life. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Hmm, great story telling style you have. It reads like prosetry. I enjoyed this a lot!

the attempt at least was good, if it does in fact needs tweaks. personally I hate tweaking stuff after working hard on it, not that I'm not open to suggestions myself lol. anyways, I still liked this.

Interestingly interesting.

I thought this was a simple yet potent writing. It's late and I'm tired otherwise I might find some criticisms but again, too brain dead to say anything other than I enjoyed it.

I love how you can take any topic in the universe and dress it up or down. You choose hands and I think it works. If you feel like there's room for improvement reread it and tell us what you decide to do.

Very romantically written. I've never thought about the tales that hands can tell. I love the original concept, and I especially like the tie-in with the first and last stanzas.
