Smile

For all the elusive smiles in the world.

Your face bursts into a smile.
Your eyes close in ecstasy,
As you rub your forehead,
Shake your head
And chuckle.

In that time-stopping moment,
My eyes are fixed on your face -
Your cheeks blushing, lips glistening
And I’m caught
In your note.

Not knowing what you do,
You reduce me to your admirer -
Captured and already ravished,
Immovable, drained
And silent.
