Image Consultant

The mirror lies, only love tells the whole truth!!

Twenty seven years of perfection
is what I see.
Every today has been refreshed anew
by the glorious vision of my Love's countenance.

I don't see laugh lines, I see the record
of all my dumb jokes,
you laughed so hard, lost in amazed humor.
Leaving me astounded,
flabbergasted and pleased
that you like my quirky sense of humor.

I see not the gray hairs
hiding peek a boo in the silken cascade.
I see the frost of Winter's last days,
soon melting away into dews of Spring,
nourishing and sustaining the blossoms
in our garden of mutual dedication.
I see merely the frosting on the sweetest cake,
delicate and subtle in luscious flavors
for us to share!

Every time I gaze upon your face,
I see the twenty year young blossom
that stole my breath away,
stuttering, stammering;
all cool smoothness blown away
in the savage storm of your undying beauty.
Each moment in your presence
awakens that awkward boy,
desperate to catch the gift of your attention.

You don't need a mirror Love,
just consult my smile
and the hunger need desire in my eyes,
for the ever fresh portrait of you in my heart.
With your loving permission,
I'll always be your image consultant.
