Your Not So Funny Face
Dimples worn upon your cheeks
those early days when we would meet...
Slowly morphed, and were then replaced by
parenthesis, that would surround your face
your mouth, your forehead, and you were bound
with worried frowns
They were not there
when first we met
It is my bet, and I would gage
the consequence that comes with age.........or........
perhaps in fault, I'll estimate,
the end result of many years of marriage? !!!
A crease in your brow
as deep as a ocean
from worries grown
and worries known
since knowing me!
I have a notion
your forehead betrays
unhinged emotions
with lines you display
from every commotion!
The wrinkles you bear...,
the tinge of gray hair...,
I may have put there!
In spite of my care
in spite of my flair
my honest intentions, while paying attention
were part of my charm and devotion !!
