Wife

None see you with the eyes nor hear with ears,
Nor feel you with the hand, nor smell your breath.
You lie beyond all senses, out of reach,
Surviving without body beyond death. 
We joined ourselves together in one flesh
In marriage vows pronouncèd true in love,
You thought a brown-eyed boy would hold your hand,
I thought God sent me beauty from above. 
But later did I learn that you weren't you,
Your eyes are just the window to your soul.
The body, though it is, will not remain
When you depart to heaven, you in whole. 
For you are more than mouth and lips and teeth.
The you you are is hidden deep beneath.
