"have you ever seen a sight
as beautiful as a face in a crowd of people
that lights up just for you?"
cowboy junkies
I am fascinated by faces
I love eyes
I think wrinkles are gold-dust
I see emotions
in the eyes
around the eyes
the face around the eyes.
I see brows
like farmers fields
displaying artwork
artwork of the soul.
I love corners of mouths
the way they twitch
(just like you right now)
And lips.
Lips.
I look at little Connie
three months old
licking her lips
experimenting shapes
bottom lip pushed out
just like me.
I see noses first
all shapes
neglected one
tiny ones
hairy ones
big ones
turned up ones
flat ones
broken ones.
I love faces
lighting up
55% of your total communication is there
(only 7% is words)
so I love faces.
Your face
sipping peppermint tea
with me
the next time we meet
or
the first time we meet.
I love your face ..........
...... you are beautiful .......
