Place your hands upon me.
Place them in places where with your fingers you can draw stars for my skin is the sky and your hands made of love,
Place your hands upon me,
Where our palms can connect and spark like fireworks in the night sky,
Place your hands upon me.
Use tools to carve me for I am stone and have never felt so heavy.
Place your hands upon me.
Where the sun meets the sky and the moon meets the night,
Find places on my skin where you can see my battles,
Find places on my skin where you can feel the ocean,
Find places on my skin where you can find my emotions
For i am a canvas.
I am the night sky
I am the fire works that burst and explode and fly high at midnight,
Place your hands upon me.
And trace figures onto my skin for your hands are like harpoons and you can kill and create and combine love with pain and this friendship was far from in vain,
Place your hands upon me.
Together, we can write stories and my skin can be the pages,
We can write poetry and sonnets and plays that will last the ages,
Place your hands upon me,
Keep me grounded,
For if you let me slip for even one second I'll float away to space where they say my mind has been,
And it seems lately they've been right,
in the clouds, somewhere really high, is where I've tucked away and hidden my mind,
So place your hands upon me,
And remind me that my life is mine.

PoesíaA collection of poems made in a dark time of my life. I made this book so that I could share my happiness and pain with others who might understand, but more importantly, this book is for those who need to be understood. Hope you all enjoy! Please...
