When She Smiled

 

 

When she smiled

It was the real thing,

Not one of those political

Grins of suspect eyes loaded

With baggage peering over cracked

Lips,

When she smiled

Her entire body was

Lit by the fire of passion

That seemed sparked from the

Seat of her soul feeding her eyes

Sips,

Of a dancing elixir

That took you off waltzing

To those places poets imagine.
