His hands are like sandpaper,

calloused by the hardships of Life's labors.281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGludcN4n6

Time has carved her tiny paths into his palms,

Yet, those sandpaper hands remain forever strong.

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCD1z4mrkQ

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.

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.

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKNjJSIFHB

When he kisses me with those uneven lips,

even the world seems to be eclipsed.

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOZ4hvDxDl

And when he looks at me with those dark eyes,

I am reminded why I became his bride.
