Poems
Feb 2019
The first smile after being depressed for so long you forgot how your contented face looks like.
A sudden smile on chapped lips
appeared. And I,
with a quiet breath, a timid glance,
have caught it, kept it, let it be.
And mirror shows the face I’ve known
for its solemnity and gloom
be bright and sparkling –
vibrant glow.
A hopeful tint to my joyless heart
that fought to find a smile that blooms
and stays with me right now,
for good.
sometimes a smiling face can be so alien.
