Smile

The best way to see someone.

The sunlight burns my pale face, lashes stinging my cheeks.

The wind whispers across my skin, hair tickling my bare midriff.

 

My heart beats in my hands, resting on the burning sidewalk.

Banging my eardrums, but sounding a million miles away.

 

The gentle breeze plants kisses on my ears; his voice almost clear.

Stroking the underside of my nose; his scent nearly palpable.

 

My eyelids flutter rapidly, mending the cracked levees in my eyes.

Letting my head roll backward, lips prepared to kiss the sun.

 

The inside of my eyes the haven to his lost slideshow.

 

His lips curled in a laughing smile, eyes reflecting the obvious joy.

His nonchalant stance comfortably natural, defining stunning.

 

Smiling the smile that creates mine; flashing the eyes that make me swoon.

 

My tears catch in the breeze, painting my warm cheeks.

Streaming across my upturned lips, resting in my smile.

 

Smile in love.

There is always a smile there for you from my end sweet.....This was fantastic. The images are crisp, the emotion is always so raw with your writing, that is what I dig about it the most. Your descriptions are very visual an even more emotional which makes for a great mix. Great job....

Very enjoyable! I love the way you word things, I can't seem to make as beautiful metaphors. Your words surely do come off strong in this very sweet poem. Loved it
