That About A Face Previously responsible concerning an adolescent resplendent facial hallmark, Awarded to privileges and sanctioned embellishment favoring enhancement, Over time, years chip away unnoticeably o'er worn breathless moments, Taunt texture of an arduous youth evaporates in a whimsical hallucination, Face delicately immersed in a penny-filled wishing well made full by an Irish spring, Whereby, encroaching four-leaf clovers anticipate deviating hands to favor, For a wealth of squishing palms to rub gently the verdurous lucky chartreuse petals, Against foretelling fluctuating skin with moisturizing balms that saturates the aged cavities, Alas, rebellious slaves to periodical moons ebb the epidermis as once kept promises reneges, Former fields of the dermis yield a harvest worthy of an ample supply of suppleness o'er a lifetime, Where cherished glorious heyday occupied a magnificent proffered face for cameras to envy, In the advance of time, I am content to gracefully tender the waning years for a fair measured distance as a camera poses for a closeup. 2019 December 22
