Faces.
Bits of age old places; barbed wire fences in smiling braces.
Furrowed brows the farm-rows before the crops,
Teary eyes the waterfalls and then the sparse rain drops.
Earthquakes!
Hearts shudder and pound violently out of control.
Sparse flaws on the skin; soft little knolls,
Moon craters, crevices and sun-spot moles.
Folding ocean surface ripples, delicate creases and wrinkles.
Bright eyes, starry skies, glittery make up and colorful dyes,
Algae blooms’ impending doom and faint hair highlights – plant-derived.
Summer breezes sighs of delight, warm breathes and sun-bleached sights.
Earthquakes!
Panicked shaking, tsunami waves and crippling fright.
Morning dew on green grass blades, beads of sweat on blushing faces,
Bird songs echoing in the day, melodies repeated on radio stations.
Your smile: so eternal, eroded into the mountainous region.
Earthquakes….
My heart still tremors. Your smile remains after all of the seasons.
Beyond this Smile
