Aiyah Torres Poet Blank verse

In Your Smile

How could I paint someone else's smile,
If my eyes can barely see the sky.
How could I start stroke a brush,
Then paint your face in a canvass.

How could I paint a smile today,
If sorrows fade the glow of sun.
The flowers and the butterflies,
What color should I place to hide.

How could I paint a smile in me.
What emotions do I have to try.
Is it a happiness within my soul.
Will it be the same as who I am.

I close my eyes and take a breath.
Now I can see the world beneath.
If someone looks to inner soul.
That's where the perfect smile will show.

Jeremy Street July 11, 2014 at 4:35 PM I like the ending here, beautiful girl! We find it ofttimes somewhat amazing in some abnormal light ? when another can carry on amid status quo while all about there is so much pain, death and destruction....Seems so surreal to this child and better not to delve into it's waning shades in gray's days ~ But, again we turn unto the Soul and there one can find an escape from this land be their dead ~ Great poe baby girl....KLove * Aiyah Torres July 14, 2014 at 3:33 PM Hi Jeremy.. wazzup yo?!>> thanks for this extravagant comment.. you're so sweet! ^_^
