    SECRETS OF OUR SMILE

    Smile

    what am I to you

    whom do you see

    We living on the outskirts of reality

    yet uncomfortably existing within the confines

    of our anonymity

    in this the autumn of our lives

    our Septembers have become unseasonably warm

    people mindlessly enjoying the day

    while we anticipate the coming evening storm

    and as the first raindrops fall upon the grotto

    staining the tiles

    from our shared destiny we shall remiain

    for voluntarily we choose to abstain

    while ensconsed within the secrets of a smile

     

    What does she mean to me

    who is he

    milling impatiently about

    on your periphery

    people accepting friendship zones

    and the erogenous moans

    of seductive tome

    in place of seeking love's true destiny

    so many

    never find only seek

    an introspective peek

    only to discover falling leaves as October looms

    the whippoorwill singing in perfect harmony

    with the sweeping sounds of brooms

    only to very soon

    face an approaching winter of discontent

    alone with time misspent

    admiring our profiles

    while we live in consternation within

    the secrets of our smile

     

    Can our love hope to withstand

    a voluntary mutiny

    to save yourself will you plead

    to a temporary insanity

    who are we

    to try when most have failed

    staring into the stained glass portals

    of our inebriated minds while

    the northern winds in October skies croon

    a whiter shade of pale

    skipping the fading light fandango

    eating an out of season mango

    while replaying the lowlights

    contained withing our conversations

    waiting for a night visitation

    that never comes

    tell me

    what parts

    of our hearts do we use

    in this the autumn of our lives

    is there any purity of emotion that has not been abused

    the painful memory of past failed romance

    we file

    accepting the feelings of emptiness

    that only bear witness

    to living within the secrets of our smile

     

    Can you withstand

    my unfounded scrutiny

    while the pinpricks of your diatribe

    remain so tiny you cannot see

    the pain I endure

    to secure

    our reservation for November's blessings

    are we regressing

    into a doubtful embrace

    I admiring your contours

    you ignoring the pain you've painted upon my face

    a portrait of lost seasons

    thus the reason

    most who try fail

    for ultimately

    we are impaled

    upon the cross of our insecurities

    tell me

    what am I to you

    whom do you see

    it is now Decemberr

    and as the snow begins to fall

    it obliterates the steps we have taken

    and most importantly the upcoming miles

    we must walk

    to emerge as one  from the secrets of our smile

     

     

    Inspired by the Candace and Midnite Show's various topics.

    thank you Ladies..respect and admiration.
