“Smile”
When you smile, I feel a spark, like static in the dark
A smile that steals away my heart and pours out as if a hearth
When our eyes touched the first time it was like lightning had left its mark
Now it gives that feeling as if a perfect storm has met a perfect park
I get lost and realize it’s only your eyes I feel on my sunrise
A gale of beauty that harkens to my star filled daze
A smile with those eyes I could spend a lifetime learning your ways
