Audrey Hepburn, and Albert Finney
She is my Audry Hepburn,
Tall, skinney, long neck,
Angular face, short hair,
Wide eyes, high cheek bones,
My petite, fashion model
My star
I am her Albert Finney
Full hair, stocky, square,
With a deep voice, and a big face,
I am the dreamer, the talker,
The poet
And we drive,
On this road, passing time,
Together, apart, talking about life
Marriage, boredom, our kids,
We have been at it for a while
Comfortable in our skins,
I drive, she in passenger seat,
With sunglasses on, her scarf,
We fight big, kiss long,
And once in a while,
-I call her a bitch,
And she calls me a bastard,
I am the poet, she is the star

such a tribute to your wife, beautiful comparisons. Audrey Hepburn, 'my star' a comfortable sounding situation of acceptance and complete love.

I loved this movie,,"Two for the Road" with Hepburn & Finney,in fact adored all of Audrey Hepburns films and when I lived in NYC, I imitated her stlye to the point my friends took to calling me 'holly-go-lightly',,,,I even used the long cigarette lighter dahlinggg LOL. How clever of you to write a poem based on that movie, I could visualize it as I read your lines....thanks 'sis' (khee! he!)
