artist's hands

just like most things

my heartbreak 

looked so disturbingly

beautiful

held in the curvature

of your fingers. 

at least, you

were holding me. 

Reviews

Nice and eloquently written

[Victoire Eliza Jacobs]

So woeful, yet truthful. I believe everyone at one point or another has felt this way, especially the ending.

Lovely poem.

To clarify, you should make "heart break" into "heartbreak" unless you meant the image of your heart actually breaking, then it should be "heart breaking"

Lots packed into the shortened simplicity of this piece. Nice job.

Yes...very good. Reminds me that, for me, good poems are like photographs...and you've taken a very nice picture here...thanx...bob

what a sweetheart of a poem

[Clockwork]

I've always though that there was something special about an artists hands...maybe its the empathy factor, maybe its a sense of knowing what will soothe a given ailment for another person. Those hands can hold the world together when all else is breaking...maybe sometime they can cause a heart to break.

Your closing couplet resonated with my most, and is my favorite pair of lines overall.
