His Gentle Smile (poem)
There he sits the world now passes by
Something else again has caught his eye
Yet if you ask he’ll offer no reply
The world is trapped within his gentle smile
-
A landmark they have come to know
This man who offers no hello
Yet all are captured by his glow
A world is spoken there within his smile
-
No one knows yet tales are sung
Of memories when they were young
And by enchantment they were stung
That world remains reflected in his smile
-
Amid the moon’s romantic light
Such dancing dream brought stars delight
As countless kisses thrilled the night
This world sustained somewhere in his smile
-
The realms of love at their command
There never was a love so grand
They held so much within their hand
A world they made a haven in his smile
-
Times like these not seen for awhile
Mystery captured by love’s guile
Lovers drift on a distant isle
The world is there within his gentle smile
