VERSE | CRESCENT MOON

The crescent moon shone overhead 
She wore a tilted smile 
I looked at her and asked wherefore 
She smiled so, was she shy?

Convinced that in her timid state 
She hadn’t heard my query 
As she perched in her cosmic grove 
Smiling lopsidedly 

So I cupped my hands around my mouth 
The lady was full of guile 
“O Crescent moon, you nighttime boon 
Give the world a real smile!”

She seemed to laugh and hid herself 
In some gossamer clouds nearby 
But her glowing curve still favored
The right side of the sky 

I watched her play hide and seek 
Showing a bit of her askew smile 
Floating, gliding through the clouds 
I was enchanted, mesmerized 

I turned away, this sensory play 
Called for a brew of tea 
Mug in hand, when I looked again 
She was beaming cheek to cheek.

VERSE | SMILE

A smile is such a magical thing
Like a rainbow that has sprouted wings
Its pots of gold shimmering 
In a dimpled firmament 
Lifting the day
In its 180 degree euphoria 
It is that precious loop
That adorns the mouth 
In latitudes of joyfulness 
Its bearings somewhere between 
The heart and hypothalamus
A smile is a small piece
Of heart that is pulled out
Of its latticed, multi-ribbed house
A little boon of bliss
A bit of love set free
Into the ether of the world 
That beautiful upturned arch
Of rapture and release 
Stirring the organs and the feet
Defying the pull of gravity 
I see your smile 
Framing your face
I don’t know you but my heart lifts 
Drawing its own curve on my lips
A gift bestowed for one received
A smile is that magical thing.
