Hennity II - These Hands

These hands,
Blistering pain,
Oh how they long to be soothed,
To touch the woman flesh,
As they once did before,
When the World was fresh,
Far from our new darkness,
Distant segregation,
And sensations wondered free,
Wake up and see,
No pain…

Author notes

A hennity is my personal invention. Hennities have eleven lines, with the sixth line being the climax of the poem. Each line has a certain number of syllables in order to create a specific symmetry.
Line one: 2 syllables
Line two: 4 syllables
Line three: 7 syllables
Line four: 6 syllables
Line five: 6 syllables
Line six: 5 syllables
Line seven: 6 syllables
Line eight: 6 syllables
Line nine: 7 syllables
Line Ten: 4 syllables
Line eleven: 2 syllables
It also follows a rhyme scheme of a, b, c, d, e, d, f, g, h, h, i.
