His hands are like sandpaper,

calloused by the hardships of Life's labors.464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLHpWgi54P

Time has carved her tiny paths into his palms,

Yet, those sandpaper hands remain forever strong.

464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeczs8mxVs

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.

464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uLEWU24PC

When he kisses me with those uneven lips,

even the world seems to be eclipsed.

464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9mXWnxsGQ

And when he looks at me with those dark eyes,

I am reminded why I became his bride.
