Her Smile – An Ode To A Woman

Have you ever tried

Her loneliness

With a taste of

Her tears

And a potion of

Her emotions


Have you ever endeavored

To fly with her spirit

Over the mountain of joy

Or taken a dive

Into her soul’s pearl


Did you ever notice

That in that woman

There still lives a girl


Have you seen

The sparkle in her eye

When she is

Looking at you


I wonder if you are

As fond of her

As she is of you

Have you savored

Her kindness

Mixed in her distaste

For deceit

With a splash of her anger


Have you ever sipped

Her sorrow

With a tinge

Of her pain

Brewed in her gloom


Have you experienced

Her agony

Arraigned in her aloofness

With a need

To be loved


Or has her smile fooled you too
