Crestfallen Smile

Like lightning falling from heaven,
your last fling ended without warning
Bewitching Boston Creole buxom beauty,
your crestfallen smile told a tragic love story
Superhuman strength from an unknown source
moved you on your curvaceous Amazon course
I watched from a low hanging urban perch
as you floated with sassafras ease towards me
Suddenly you stopped right in front of my eyes,
and started looking around with sensual curiosity
I fell from my heart stoop, lost in your rapt reverie
In the delta of destiny, you found your new journey
A rising tide of romantic hope swiftly over swept me
Funny Valentine smile washed ashore next door literally

Charlie Smith Date: 8/8/2017 10:29:00 AM Watch your step in that "delta of destiny" Freddie, good write my friend... Login to Reply Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 8/8/2017 10:36:00 AM Ty, Charlie. Lol. I'll try to watch out for that first step. After that, all bets are off. Love and smiles, bro.

Heidi Sands Date: 8/8/2017 10:10:00 AM Hi Freddie. This nice write has mystery too it. I am still trying to figure out the interesting ending :) Login to Reply Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 8/8/2017 10:27:00 AM Ty, Heidi. Didn't mean to be so cryptic ... but she has a crestfallen smile. She has had an unpleasant prior relationship that has given her a sad smile. In the end, she has a laughing, happy smile ... a funny valentine smile. The fella watching her has fallen in love w/her at first sight. This new love has made her smile again. Hope that explains it a bit better. Love and peace.
