Portrait In Words

Green eyes lined with wisdom love and now mirth Hair the colour of snow, facially rife A heart so warm and gentle from his birth Love he did miss, he lived a busy life A hat upon his head is ever there In love he never did think he would fall His temperament, now cool to be fair His height is not short, and his spirit tall In words he is gracious, clever and kind In his heart love, and it’s full to the brim His poetry gives us clues to his mind In thoughts and deeds there is none to touch him His looks at one with such calm compassion A beautiful face after a fashion. © 25/04/2013

Mandy, this "mystery" man is amazing! :) I loved this sonnet of yours. If it is who I think it is....he is so deserving! I applaud you! It isn't just the choice of person, but your choice of words as well....very beautifully written...tender and sweet. Just what I like! Hugs!
