a smile

there's a sensual magic
in the quick flash of light
that reflects between the two involved
it stays with both
a touchless tangible bond
between the strangest of strangers
only a flash of teeth and the crinkle around the eyes
a warmth lastingly retained
held truly in the recesses of the formerly black mind
now filling with mounting light

    You don't need to change this at al!!!!! It's wonderful just the way it is. A smile.... the gesture that can light a thousand candles, soothe away the tears, bring a smile in return. There's few things in life that are so mesmerizing and can change things so much.

    Beautiful write.. and thank you for reading and your kind coment on my poem, 'Mama's Trunk' It's a special poem to me.

    beautiful poem.
    smiles are wonderful things...
    my boyfriend doesn't smile enough, i'm always trying to get him to smile more (especially since he had dimples).
    thanks for visiting my page.

    wee

    In my opinion, it's not weak at all, this is amazing. I love it! Very truthful too, a smile just from one person when you are feeling down can help alot. Write on!
