Inside the shadow's shadow

You are mine
Imperfection in its most
Exquisite form
No need for the flicker-dance
of the candle light
Nor the roses
You brought home tonight.

No need for the aftershave you use
Or the way you've done your hair

All for me.

Still, it's nice.

But nothing can compare
To the way you hold my hand
Or the way you look at me.

The world could flood, burn,
Fall away from its axis
Spinning off into eternity
And I'd never know
As long as your eyes hold mine.

This is what we all desire to be accepted imperfections and all and love is what makes that happen.  Thanks I really loved this one.

Sweet...just beautiful all the way through.

And this:

"Imperfection in its most
Exquisite form"

Just gotta love it -- and wish I'd thought of it!

So very, very lovely... and you're right... nothing can compare. *S*
