When You Smile Like That

When you smile you glow hard Like a floodlight, the brightness of which could drown out the misery in even a dark soul and uplift it on rising currents of hope. If I had to use words to describe it I would say it was captivating, mystifying, even magnetic. The kind where people can't help but steal a glance, and maybe even take a chance. No this poem isnt about romance (maybe I'm lying) but I love smiles like that. They're like defibrillators to the chest, but you never hear "Clear" and you just get a pleasant shock is all, from being touched by blissful energy that has the beauty of poetry, inspiring hearts have a change in rhythm and scribble odes to it across EKGs, with no ink just their own electricity. Thats what a smile like that does.
