Smile

  I heard about a lady with a breathtaking smile,

Someone who was enchanted by her

Took her away

To a distant land,

It seemed as though she would never smile again,

No matter how hard her captor tried to please her,

No one ever asked her if she wanted to live in

that hostile land with him,

yet one day a visitor came,

Someone who she never knew 

But when she realized he was from her land

She smiled

I’m not so different from her, am I?

In the harsh winter,

I’m drawn to your lustrous onyx eyes

because they remind me of

a place almost lost to me

however grey your heart may be
