Smiles
I've thought of you today.
Too much goes on,
time flies too soon,
and yet,
you come unbiden and I stop and smile...
I write and I think,
if only moments were you and not just words on a page.
My words cannot capture you and the moments slip away.
And this hope is born daily of my dreams of the night.
Not always or often but still,
when you come,
dreams are a sweeter place.
There where wish and longing and hope intertwine
and in that timeless place within where dreams are real and real is false,
you move and speak til dawn and hope is born anew.
...and my hope is,
somewhere,
sometime,
that you'll think of me
and you'll stop and you'll smile too.

it's true love is beautiful and it hurts sometimes but it's worth it I think... I was wondering if you've had a chance to check out JusTim he writes passionate love poems I saw in your intro those were of interest to you... sadly they are in short supply their are more heartbreak poems... keep writing your passions they are beautiful ❤
I'll look him up. I'm slowly getting to know people on the forum and through poems.
And remember, love wouldn't hurt if it wasn't real.
And thank you for the appreciation and encouragement of what I write. Men aren't supposed to be romantic. Macho caveman knuckle draggers, yes. Romantic...not so much.

Dear AJ,
This is really lovely. I had to read it twice to take in the delicate thoughtfulness. Oh, to be the bearer of someone’s smile.
I’m backing up to read the rest of your work, however, I’m very glad to have bumped into this piece to start. Beautiful write.

One never knows who's secret smile they are. And perhaps sometimes they do....
Thank you for taking a moment to read and leave a comment to make me smile.

Being inspired by the beauty of women makes the world go round in writing and art for me.

Well, they mostly think I'm just staring. They don't understand an artist at his craft.
