SMILES

 


                

1.     Smiles bloom like lilies in spring

 Smiles like merry bells ring;

 Smiles, a sense of healing touch bring

 Smiles make us happy like birds that sing.

 

2.     Some smiles seem pure like snow

 As pristine as streams that flow;

 Some shine like blooming lotus-glow;

 Some like white pearls unfold gentle and slow;

  

3.     Some calm and noiseless like silver ripples’ shine

 Some flash sudden like diamonds in a mine;

 Some so lovely, enchanting and fine

 Through smooth red lips -a chain of pearls in a line.

 

4.    So charming a baby’s toothless smile

A flash of heaven untouched by guiles;

No gilded deceit or cunning style

A godly gift indeed the baby’s smile. 

 

5.    Flushed with passion with dreamy desire

A damsel’s smile appears like rousing fire

Unfolding musings like heavenly spires

Like Venus born from foamy seas to inspire.

 

6.    Some smiles streaked with sarcastic strain

Pricks others with stinging pain

A sense of malicious pleasure they gain

Though they look benign and goodness feign.

 

7.    Smiles hiding sighs conceal

The hidden suppressed grief they feel;

A subtle, dry look lurks behind the veil

Of misty despair they can’t reveal.

 

8.    Even gods seem to smile in mysterious ways

At man’s fickle nature and struggling days;

Who falsely thinks his wealth forever stays;

Man’s life confined to limited time and space.

 

9.    Smiles brighten our lives like the moon

Smiles, indeed a God-given boon

Life’s worries seem like shadows at noon

They rise and fade away too soon.

 

 10.         Smile away troubles and try to be bright 

     Smiles shine like twinkling stars at night;

Smiles make our passing burdens light

A smiling happy soul, a welcome sight.
