    Blood on Your Hands

    I always wondered how hands so gentle
    with the painting of leaves
    and silk of thread
    could hit so hard.
    I would watch your hands as they stroked paint and drew genius
    remember the way they looked
    covered in blood last night.
    I will watch you mend
    a broken thing
    how you will handle a dead bird
    and cry tears over broken wings
    though it can feel no more.
    I will touch those hands although I fear what they will do to me
    when I am not looking
    and when I have just started to trust again.
    I always wondered how I could still love you
    why I cannot simply turn away
    leaving those hands to tear at thread
    and break the bones of already broken things.

    Another sensitive work, a nice blend of masculine and feminine energy.
    I felt as if the artist was martial, too yang in fact, seeking only to bleed
    the yin energy from his partner to further his own longevity.
