"smileless" poems
when thou hast taken thy last applause,and when
the final curtain strikes the world away,
leaving to shadowy silence and dismay
that stage which shall not know thy smile again,
lingering a little while i see thee then
ponder the tinsel part they let thee play;
i see the large lips vivid, the face grey,
and silent smileless eyes of Magdalen.
The lights have laughed their last;without,the street
darkling awaiteth her whose feet have trod
the silly souls of men to golden dust:
she pauses on the lintel of defeat,
her heart breaks in a smile—and she is Lust….
mine also, little painted poem of god

I am tired of...
shaking hands,
tired eyes,
pale cheeks,
smileless lips,
stinging lungs,
fragile legs,
a mind without peace
and a heavy heart
I am so indefinitely,
so infernally and entirely
tired

When the earth was still asleep in its wintry slumber
You were waltzing away on the streets of the floating city
Celebrating a farewell to flesh in merriment and guise
Yet the smileless bauta you wore could not shelter
The eyes of a dreamer that had been deprived of vivacity
Painstakingly embracing the seconds that paved the way to demise
Gripping the hands of your mourning lover
You were dancing once more to the waltz of sleeping beauty
Out of breath, you joined the earth with your unbroken smile

Hello.
One word.
Two syllables.
A knife through the air of silence.
An enemy of loneliness.
The word itself could bring hope to the hopless.
A smile to the smileless.
A friend to the friendless.
Hello.
A simple word could lead to million things,
it can bring you joy,
love,
heartbreak,
but it could also make you fall
a
p
** a**
r
t
Rip you to shreds.
Tear your heart out.
Leave tears streaming down your face.
For hello is a undecided thing;
Nor friend or enemy.
It's just hello.
A word,
the beginning of a story.

People with the tired souls,
Are the most beautiful ones
to be with!
Even though they're totally empty,
All they do is "GIVE"!
They Give their smiles,
even though they're smileless!
They give their support,
even though they're supportless!
They are the ones,
who are in search of hope to live!
Everyday they sleep tried, thinking,
" why do I have to live ? "
Despite of no dreams and aspirations,
They still inspire others around!
They are filled with negativity within,
But always choose to spread happiness around !
These souls are always near us,
& are really difficult to identify!
Because they are the smarty ones,
Who can hide anything behind THEIR smiles!

Is what I feel on my tongue
Every time I attempt
To utter a phrase
In a futile direction
My rationality
Cannot cope with pointlessness
But like an unstoppable
Energizer bunny
I go ahead despite it all
Smileless

One day,
As I was walking alone,
A man said hello.
He said,
"Won't you take this piece of me?
I've been meaning to let it go, and
It really serves no purpose, you know"
And handed me his smiles,
In tiny little piles.
I asked him to stay,
But he simply walked away.
