wee smirks
s p l a y
into
H U G E G R I N S
just looking at you
gazing at me
brings on
funny facial quirks
awakening muscles
seldom exercised
enough in life
yours stretch easily
over tiny
pearly whites
while mine
strain across
well-ground ivories
: ) ( :
just one split second
in time
divided into
two endless smiles
endless because
I'll carry them
in a small pocket
of my heart
to savour in
the lean years
after you are gone
when my solo
smile reveals
just empty gums
and sighs.
