Innocent youth mixed with a rush
of excitement, darkness, and a crush;
soft skin
(my smile)
to
the touch.

A moment that is realized,
when pride has been improvised.
"What just happened!?":
(my smile)
Par-
alyzed!

A lap substitutes a chair.
Oxygen replaced with air:
literal sweetness!
(my smile)
Of
your hair.

A heavy head not knowing it's lent
it's mind to cause; tired; spent:
lie back, close eyes:
(my smile)
that
moment.

A smile directed like an attack
on a heart that's hurt, with love in lack:
Caught by surprise.
My smile
sent
right back.


Things I like to think I have thought
upon, as some things are never taught:
The life you lead was a battle fought,
not merely something ancestry bought.
Like the sound of an apple being caught,
please,
Learn to seek that which should be sought!
