Smiles Not Tears

I would travel by land and ships,
A million miles,
For one small glimpse,
One tender smile.

If a tear should appear,
In your eye I know,
The sun would fade,
Nevermore to glow.

One smile from your lips,
Will bring a million ships.

      Thank you for the kind comment. I'm sorry to hear about your eyes, but to be honest, I was thinking of my own at the time. Have a nice 4th of July.

  • short and sweet, great poem! thanks for the entry!
  • Absolutely....wow

    This poem really is beautiful. Usually when I comment, I try to pick out my favorite part, and with this poem I don't have one because each line is so beautiful. It made me feel like I was in a Julia Roberts movie

    That's my favorite verse in the poem! This poem is totally awesome! I love the feeling that it has and the way that it has the ability to move someone. I hope to see more good poetry from you and to see you around. I always have contests going on, you should enter a poem sometime. I am pretty sure that you will win some!

      Thank You. I plan on making a few changes, to make it a sonnet, when the above contest is done.

    Very nice, I like the sincere heartfelt tone of this rhyme poem, has the feel of a sonnet; the words remind me of Gibran, simple words that say a lot...thank you for this fine entry into the contest and best of luck in the judging...PK

      Thank you for the comment on Smiles Not Tears. Now, don't be blowing smoke. When I saw a contest on sonnets, I liked the sound of it. I looked it up in the dictionary, a poem of 14 lines. I liked the idea of it. Then I saw all the different types, then all the variations, then all the variations to all the rules and then I saw all the ABCs. Now, I am one confused puppy. I think I will just try 14 lines for awhile and see what happens.
      Thanks for all the applause.
