Your Smile

I saw your smile as soon

As you walked into the room.

And any—no, all of the gloom

Left, to the dark side of the moon,

The moment you walked into the room.

Time slowed down—heart sped up

When you sat by my side.

Aromas of citrus, lemon, wine,

Rose from our hourglass cups,

When you sat by my side.

Your hair waved like a swaying sea,

When you turned back to look at me.

It sent to me a solemn breeze—

Giving me chills and freezing my knees,

When you turned back to look at me.

Body like a wave of clouds,

When you swing, swirl, and dance around.

You lift my spirits off the ground

—Far away from corrupt clouds,

When you swing, swirl, and dance around.

Eyes like Eden: green and pure,

When you stare at me, forevermore.

My heart's been found, it's washed ashore—

And never! have I felt so sure,

When you stare at me, forevermore.
