His hands are like sandpaper,

calloused by the hardships of Life's labors.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjeUWCCZJN

Time has carved her tiny paths into his palms,

Yet, those sandpaper hands remain forever strong.

362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc9LtbX7EY

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.

362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXcFYKa8ee

When he kisses me with those uneven lips,

even the world seems to be eclipsed.

362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblw15qy6k0

And when he looks at me with those dark eyes,

I am reminded why I became his bride.
