My China

[mrmaninblack00 (deleted)]

My China

My hands are calloused
Your angel face is too delicate
to touch
My fingertips are indelicate
And your skin too much
...like porcelain
My eyes are too tired,
too heavy
And your crystal eyes
too pure
...to be locked with mine
I would only shadow the shine,
the perfect beauty
of your gaze
My voice is too coarse
To respond to your gentle voice
Sounding like songbirds in unison
Making angels rejoice
And my lips are too parched
and too chapped
...to even blow a kiss
...at your sweet lips
They would only eclipse,
so disfavorably,
the sweet love of your kiss
I can only allow myself
...to listen to you breathe
For you are my fine china
You have to be from the Ming Dynasty
You have to be a gift
...so graciously given
to this undeserving fool
