WHAT FLAWS ?

Since we met I have been blind.
Don't get me wrong, though, I don't mind
'cause I can see just plain as day
until I turn my eyes your way.

When I glance at you I see
that child bride so dear to me.
You're still the best thing in my life;
my safe port in times of strife.

Your skin is as soft in my hand
and in my arms you feel as grand.
The wrinkles of which you oft fret
well, I haven't seen them yet.

As well purported gray hair,
I swear there isn't any there.
Any weight you say you've gained
unseen by me, I have explained.

The sheer perfection I perceive
that leads to your mind's boggles,
my lack of perception I believe
is due to my love goggles.

The good thing about love goggles as opposed to beer goggles is they don't vanish in the morning lol. Thanks for dropping by......stan

Allow me to say this you are one of a kind person with much love and compassion in you and your writings speak of it. I guess yes we all have flaws this is true but I found a true friend when I found you.

Blessings my friend
Love to you

I too have a pair
Of love goggles,
I’d wish to compare,
Your eyes are wonderful still
But blind as I am
I simply glare
Love goggles
Is my love in words?
And
Warm touch ever
But yours
Are the lovelier ones though
To which shop
On this earth
Must I go!

Welcome to Neopoet. Yeah freezers rules these days it seems. And I write a bit of it once in a while but rhyming poetry is a bigger challenge and I love a good challenge lol. Appreciate your dropping by.....stan
