your smile confounds:
how it opens at my touch
yet, closes softly,
like a snare that traps my defiance;
- keeps me modest.
i adore how your lower lip spasms with desire,
while your upper lip struggles to hide it.
i know there’s more to your smile,
for i have kissed you -
with an undying thirst
that respawns at the close of day.
i’ll forever be in awe -
of the benevolence you summon
with your subtleties;
- keeps me honest.
i long for your smile;
i long for your love;
i long for another day -
with you.

like a snare that traps my defiance;
- keeps me modest.
i adore how your lower lip spasms with desire,
while your upper lip struggles to hide it.
i know there’s more to your smile,
for i have kissed you -
with an undying thirst
that respawns at the close of day.
i’ll forever be in awe -
of the benevolence you summon
with your subtleties;
- keeps me honest.
i long for your smile;
i long for your love;
i long for another day -
with you.
