Smiles never age

Romantic poem

When i am feeling low

Thoughts of your smile

Shine light to the abyss

Wings although fragile

Bring me back to the surface

I remember the first time I laid eyes upon you 

Jogging along the street thinking about life                            

I pass by a field of death

An angelic figure of beauty

Gentle strong hands clutched white roses

As tears slid down rosy cheeks

I wish i could stay here

On this plateau of happiness

As time goes by tragedies come

Music of your laughter fades away

As i plummet from the edge again

I remember the first time you said i love you

Soft blanket on the grass under the summers night sky

Our bodies intertwined as i gazed into your eyes

You're breathing made me feel alive

Covered in sweat feelings of passion

You're lips whispered words giving me hopes and dreams

Cast into darkness once again

I reach out my hand with new found strength

I begin to scale this thorny wall

The light shines down as i reach the top

Yet i do not see you there

I remember your last words

Grasping your dry wrinkled hand

We locked eyes for the last time

Lips parted i heard your voice

My only regret is that in my last moments i cause you sorrow

You smile white teeth dimpled cheeks

Alas you have traveled to a place I can never go..
