these hands of mine
they once held you
so much time apart, my love for you has proven to be
immortal, so I sculpted you into a statue,
leaving the world to wonder how many days I took on your
eyes to chisel that come-hither look
never knowing that I spent a decade
carving your ears to tell you
everything I wish I had said
About the Creator
Daniel K
I write love poems about the girl who has a hold over my heart and my life in such a way that neither are my own anymore. The girl I would choose over and over and over again. I love her, and that is the beginning and end of everything.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
