Wide smile bursts to grin
As all hearts burn
So does joy through lips
Speaking as translation
Fierce
Hopeful
As a bird little seen
Emerge out of sun
Grant audience
Oh child of joy
For I have forgotten
What you have discovered
smile
Strains of cello
The steady beat of a heart unseen
Give rapid pulse of shy ivory
Sinking down quiescent
Last dream of departed sun
Quick breathe held
Pains grasping hand reaching
Sleep soundly now
Now done with seeking
Fear’s choice made mock
Slow path agonizing set to rot
Soft strains of Danse
Fading
Share this:
Social pressure
The weight of a smile, full force come round again
cheeks burning with disused muscles, forgotten feeling, cold ignites shivers, skin tight against jaw worked down to bone
Fair heart nestled in memory
Sleeps tendrils grasp
Pulling deeply
Trembling with the weight of a smile.
