Smile

A smile is earnt, not filigree basket handed as Red carbon copper dressage notes shaped as rose core womb If I laugh, the cackle, dead back throat Then I conjoined twin it with a smile and you Manage-á-trois with your white hollow heavens Or if the mood should swarm me and alien I determine To be pleasant in feeling and warmth within Red cheeks and teeth to the nightscape Then you copy-cat as we swallow breaths and vanish A smile is earnt, not given as a whore Even a whore comes with a price printed in depths A smile for a smile's sake is a lie A lie is deeply insulting and hideous Smiles for nothing but air and sweet CO2 Are repellant and vomit-heavy. _ This is my reply to a question I was recently asked. "Do you ever smile?" At the time I only replied with "If you make me smile, then obviously I would be smiling. But for the hell of it, generally no". So regardless, my explaination of why smiling like an imbecile is insulting and worthless.

Um. You tragic poet you... rofllll... but I love it. "A smile is earnt, not given as a whore even a whore comes with a price printed in depths." =] You're amazing with your analogies... even if you're also slightly disturbing. I love you, Lady, and miss you loads =[ Hope everything's going well for you. Love, Daffodil
