The moon and the stars

balance on the beam of your smile.

Your silvery, succulent smile

wets my appetite for promise

and hope trapped in your eyelashes,

awakening a tender optimism

as my life glows in your amber hues.

I yearn to copy and paste your grin

and zip you into my heart as

smile’s vibrant vibes float high

upon the fervent breeze which

you have stirred in my soul.

Laughing countenance radiates

in my core and drinks my essence.

Infinity door slams shut on

the qualms of my past.

The sheath of my skin

knows not the folly of madness

as I laugh freely the way

I remember the rain.

Your smile shines once more

as day breaks on our beginning.

When he smiles,

Her heart

Flutters with delight,

For she knows ,

His smile

Resonates love

For her alone.

When he smiles,

Her fears of tomorrow

Ebb away..

Leaving her worries for

Another day..

When he smiles,

her languid soul

Garners strength

To face perils

That lay ahead.

So innocent and sweet.

Her baby boy

Gives her a flicker of

Hope.

So,

.

.

.

She forget her qualms

Knowing...

There will be better days to come,

When he smiles..

"Kill him." you said, with a smile on your face. 

"Okay." I said, and stabbed him in the heart.

I've always been this way, you know? I forgot all my reservation when I saw that smile of yours. Deadly and beautiful, like a black mamba about to strike. How could I ever refuse that smile? I would lie, steal, extort, even murder, for that smile. I would do anything for you when you smile at me that way. Anything.

I forget every one of my qualms and do your bidding without hesitation, and all for that smile, that terrifying yet lovely smile. 

We haven't talked for a week.  One.  Whole.  Week.  Although we see each other every single day, we act as though we are strangers.  I try to be strong, not letting you see my pain, but it made it worse.  Seeing you talking with other girls, laughing about inside jokes, giving them the smile that once belonged to me.  And still belongs to me.  

I know I should have approached you sooner, forgiving you.  If was a small quarrel, a stupid one about cheating.  I knew that you were telling the truth when you said that the woman calling you was a colleague.  I shouldn't have had so many doubts.

And I forget all my qualms when I see a smile on your face... You are everything in my life, my soul, my heart.  Believe me when I say this, I have always belonged to you, and my heart will always be yours to shatter, then carefully mend together again.  I will love you until the sky falls down and the ground cracks open.

Forgive me for not forgiving you.

I’ve fretted the day away

again

cares

that weren’t there yesterday

snuck in

to waylay my best-laid plans

I want so much to surprise you

when you walk through the door

after a long, hard day away

I hear you say ‘It’s OK’

…so many times…

I want to believe

but stubborn heart

pulls my down-turned look

away from welcome balm

and willing calm

then…

you lift my chin

I see the smile on your face

those qualms release

I forget the day

and embrace

my fortune’s

fate

i forget all my qualms when i see a smile on your

face.

forget all life's cares and worries

get lost inside the depths of your smile, 

a whirlpool of quicksand, drawing me nearer

but for some reason, i do not resist

i am happy, indeed,

to be granted this privilege, this high honour

of being allowed to gaze at your crooked smile

clouded with sadness and pain, bearing the mark of life's hardships

you're such a mystery

such a difficult puzzle to solve

i cannot decipher your heart's lamentations

your smile is an oasis

it provides me with sanctuary

i come to it from the dry desert of life in which i aimlessly wander

and quench my thirst

drinking hungrily, voraciously from the clear pools of your eyes 

that sparkle deliciously in the moonlight

no, i do not forget all my qualms when i see a smile on your face

i forget almost all my qualms...but one qualm still remains because

you are smiling at her, not me

You've trusted me. You've told me about everything. The pain. The sorrow. The doubt and fear. And then you asked me to meet you. In such a short time, I've come to know you so well. At least, I think I do. But you see, I've experienced pain too. I don't know what to do. If I go, it could be the best day of my life. Or it could be the worst. There really is no in-between. What if you're not who you seem? 

I'm not ready to make that decision. The stakes are too high. I can't handle it. So I go shopping instead. I don't even like shopping. The whole time, I think of you. My shoulder begins to ache. My stomach begins to clench. My head pounds. My heart races. As it gets closer and closer to the time I would have met you, it gets worse. 

Finally, I go back home.

I see you the next day. I walk straight toward you and you hold out your hands. I take them in mine and breathe deeply.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"That I didn't call you. That I didn't meet up with you. That you have pain in your life. I don't know. I'm just sorry."

I forget all my qualms when I see a smile on your face. 

"Hey, don't worry about it. Okay?"

You gently squeeze my arm and I know everything has been forgiven. Next time, it won't have to be.

Let's be honest:

Life is rough.

A cruel, harsh reality

Where the word

Fair

Doesn't exist.

I feel like

Sometimes

It's not worth it

to go on.

Yet I forget all my qualms

When I see a smile on

Your face.

When the embodiment

Of sincerity

Stands before me

How could I worry

About such worldly things?

Your smile

Your laughter

Your very existence

Are the cures to my woes.

other people go about trying to get you to flinch

to crack a smile

to magick an amused snort out of your stone facade.

they don't look at

the veins standing out in your cheeks

or the way your hair feels like you haven't washed it in days.

i should switch your shampoo.

they brag about hearing your laughter

but only because they don't hear it often.

they crow about seeing your smile

only, it is a fixed sight in my world.

i can see past the outside of stone

and see the naive, broken wonder inside.

you don't know anything.

i want to protect you, from those who are only here

for your false smile, your fake laughter.

i am here for you.

and so every time they brag, "i have coaxed a smile out of stone!"

i can congratulate them, smile gently

and know that i am pygmalion

i have brought the stone alive.

Intoxicated deeply by your love

I slept and dreamt 

In the cradle of fears 

Illusions and delusions 

Demons of unsurety prevails 

Making me sickeningly disoriented.

Still 

I could feel your fingers on my face 

Your heart beat speaks to me

In my nights

and

When I wake up

I forget all my qualms when I see a smile on your face.
