I write a lot about your smile
I do, I admit
but . . .
there is very little in this world
so enticing as your smile
yours is a pleasure-giver
those who are the recipient of it
are eternally grateful
such an open
honest and sincere smile
you bloom
when you present it to the world
I seek your smile
because, having received it
means
I'm one billionth of an increment closer
to other places
I haven't yet seen
