A Poem by Muhammad Qasim
"

inspired by the writing of a friend!

"

A hint of sadness
Behind that .. Smile

That smile
With those desperate eyes

That smile
Keeping those tears at bay

It was a smile
But only a smile

With emptiness behind
That smile

Had more heat
Than the sun

That smile
Longer than a mile

But empty 
It was

That smile
With nothing behind
But sadness

Yet that smile
Kept on smiling!! : ))

I love the idea behind this poem, and you had some promising lines. My favorite being,

"That smile
Had more heat
Than the sun"
When you wrote this, you were really saying something. The smile has anger behind it, and defied all science behind an actual smile. You should have played more off of that for sure!
Nice write (:

it's easy for few people to keep up that fake smile.and i think that it's a sign of their bravery.to even smile in that difficult situation..so what if it's fake.......there so many things that are fake in this world!!!!!
i like the desperate feel of the poem and the way you penned it is really very appreciable........the message is so pure
thanks for sharing it with us:)
