Her Intoxicating Smile

Her embedded dialect, Savored I become a speechless stanza, Craving her conjugated inhales Hopped up grins, Engorge momentary lapse of pre-judgments Grandfathered seconds pass my retinas with 3rd eye epiphanies, As she encroaches my textured tomorrows How do I fly upon this gifted morn When her lily-coated grins placate my Gaia wings, Without uncertainty’s scorn How do I breathe new breaths, When her articulated verbs Conjugate my silence … ©Drake J.

One look is all it takes... sounds like a striking and gripping smile. I've seen a couple in my life and they still leave me breathless. This is such a fine poem Drake. Every time I come back to read some of your newer work, I always think... where have I been!? This is truly amazing stuff and you wrote this with perfect substance, perfect inspiration. "Hopped up grins, Engorge momentary lapse of pre-judgments"..now those are some powerful lines. Loved it all...Always, Laura

Stunned by a smile, wondering what words lips would form. Like passing glances from strangers in the night and being left with no time to read behind the eyes. You always amaze me. The last line is stuck in my head. I think I will cross stitch it for my wall. It will make everyone stop and say "hmmm" Too deep.

You have a way of making me happy and sad at the same time. I'm torn and left dangling between the extremities of you.

Hell of a comment, sir! I was definitely on a roll as I wrote this one. This was, interestingly enough, based on a smile that I did come across here at work. I just had to write it out. Sorry it made you sad though! I certainly wasn't aiming for sadness. Maybe disappointment because that's all I'll be able to enjoy of her. :) Thanks so much, Richard!
