Behind Smiles

Smile a beautiful scar
A curve stretching 
On all the visages of the world
Despaired and poor? do they smile at all

Smile that beautiful scar
Which conceals behind it shades and marks
What you may see might just be the merry part

They smile as they cry
They smile hiding their sorrow
They smile to deceive you
They smile to escape their pain
They smile in their failure
And they also smile in hope

Most of all they smile in happy times
 They smile getting nostalgic 
They smile at ease
They smile in & yield of hard work
They smile in warmth of their lover

Some smiled when they were born
They smiled at your success
They smiled in their good luck
They smiled in the jolly parts

Ocean of stories is this beautiful scar
For all I know they smiled in all those parts
Smile the expression that spreads across
But Behind Smiles lies those mysterious miles!
