His hands are like sandpaper,

calloused by the hardships of Life's labors.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM0FNDy7EL

Time has carved her tiny paths into his palms,

Yet, those sandpaper hands remain forever strong.

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9jzx6VA5P

His lips are quirked and uneven,

like the vagabond grin of a heathen.

Yet, one smile from his could shatter the world

as if all of Life's splendidness is suddenly unfurled.

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0WYmxGcss

His eyes are dark liquid pools.

They do not sparkle like Etherian jewels;

instead, they hold a raging storm inside,

just as an ocean commands the tide.

***

When he holds me with those sandpaper hands

I am reminded every day of our future plans.

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSEjwyEZK

When he kisses me with those uneven lips,

even the world seems to be eclipsed.

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygf6OA0Dzj

And when he looks at me with those dark eyes,

I am reminded why I became his bride.
