that smile

that smile
the thrill of your impending arrival
walking without words
feeling protective
eyes that illuminate my soul
so aware you care
sensing your submission
that smile
warm sensations to my core
a love without definition
imagination
to be given so
discussing aspirations
debating life
showing hurt and despair
expressing feelings
excitement of play
that smile
your skin against mine
the smell of your hair
that smile
your depth of open mind
desire
support, advice, without pride, accepted
humility shown self-effacingly
strength of character
warmth of personality
little girl & her woman for the 'stage'
freely yielding apology as you gracefully receive
time that isn’t
just being
there
those moments when we are incomplete
that smile
sharing darkness
driven to share
acceptance of me
tolerance of me
affection to me
if life is beautiful, then you are life
