Eyes Of True Love

Eyes Of True Love

His wrinkles deepen at the tender stroke of her chunky knuckles 

Looking into each other’s eyes

They smile

His kiss poises on her aged thin lips

Sweet plumpness he feels

A memory of funny moments tickles them with loud laughter

Past harsh times forgotten

Hand in hand, they grew old together

His aged eyes still see her as the shy village girl 

Their love goes beyond physical frame

His white hair glittering under the sun

She sees his soul

The lacquered hair handsome lover

Their ageless shadows always dance together

One is lost without the other

A silent pact their hearts make

They will only beat together

Yet, their love will never perish.

"shadow" or shadows?

I wish I had read this by candle's light.

Thanks Chris, I always miss an 's' or an 'r' for some reason!!!

we view our work with a mind's preconception of what we said and often cloudy sight. But when we read it slowly and aloud...well, nuff said.

[Ambra Celeste]

Yes you are right. ))
