I Smile
The tables have turned
A new chapter in my book
I was giving up hope
But risked a second look
Strolling into my life
With speckled shoulders and toothy smile
Saves me from it all
Tells me holding on could be worthwhile
A raging, fast current
Leaves me head over heels
Changing souls into fire
Rather than rusting steel
In a look there was love
That had never been spoken
Mending and healing
The things that should never be broken
Life and love just keeps growing
And I’ve stopped biting my tongue
I’m collapsed in a heap of smiles
And I feel fresh air replete my lungs
My heart thumping felicity
Through my once hollow veins
Accepting all of life
And cleaning out the stains
Dancing on my toes
Eager for your lips
That have shown me what’s real
Replaced old life’s script
