Take My Hand
"I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence, and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong" - Daniel Handler
Those soft caring eyes melt
as your gift of love mends
and bonds every crack
a kintsukuroi of creation
I pang for you with every glance
every touch awaiting to be had
I am whole within your comfort
a warming in a barren land
come and take my hand
sun shine upon your horizons
rise to greet your way
winds grace your kiss with kindness
and smile for just one more day
Those soft caring eyes melt
as your gift of love mends
and bonds every crack
a kintsukuroi of creation
I pang for you with every glance
every touch awaiting to be had
I am whole within your comfort
a warming in a barren land
come and take my hand
sun shine upon your horizons
rise to greet your way
winds grace your kiss with kindness
and smile for just one more day

I love that you used the analogy of kintsukuroi. The cracks and breaks create such beautiful patterns and designs. There is beauty to be found in our imperfections and love so often shines a light on that delicate beauty. Lovely, Tim

Very nice, Tim!
(Unfortunately, apparently I'm the only one who doesn't know what Kintsukuroi is(maybe that's why I don't fit in here, lol.), but once I googled it, it made sense. I thought it had something to do with a shirt/ lack of). KIDDING!
Excellent writing, my friend!

Beautiful. You taught me a new word or state of mind, that is. As Hemingway said, "we are all broken, that's how the light gets in"

I'm not familiar with kintsukoroi either but it's not a handicap to enjoying this thoroughly. And I love how this dovetails into rhyme. Excellent job!
