A poem of romance and love on Valentine’s Day

You Just Smile (Don’t speak at all)

You flash a radiant smile

And sun rises in a reddish glow

Illuminating your cheeks

Whenever I speak

About your spotless beauty

Exquisite face and piercing eyes

Twinkling with life

I love to go on, for there’s a lot to convey

Much to describe

Your full and curved lips

Tender ear lobes pink in the chill

Wayward strands of hair

Dancing in the breeze

The way you sashay around

In your invisible cloak

Bringing things to life, around you

Yet you just flash, when I say all that

Your bewitching smile

Dragging me in a closer

Orbit around you

From which there’s no escape

Even if there is

Would never want to escape
