Perception

by victortouche


Beauty.

As one ages,
is it the perceptions
that change,
or...
the definitions of such?

Have you looked
upon your partner
lately?

Dreamily?
Critically,
too much?

Try...
a hot tub,
music,
wine, and...
time?

After the candles,
kids, tears, and
cuddles...

You're so beautiful.

The body is a canvas,
of life, memories,
and purpose.

Never thought
I'd miss youth
so much.

And yet,
do I?
Really...
want to go back?

So fate,
for once,
didn't slap me...

But turned me
towards the radiance
in a tub,

You happened
to be sitting in.
