The Curve of Joy: An Intimate Ode to the Power of a Smile #Poetry

The Curve of Joy

A fleeting gift, your smile appears,
A crescent moon in daylight's guise.
It blooms, unhurried, and endears,
A silent language of the eyes.

The corners lift, a gentle rise,
Like petals opening to the sun.
What secrets does your smile comprise?
What tales of joy not yet begun?

I wonder at its soft allure,
The way it transforms all your face.
Is it for me? Can I be sure?
Or just a moment's passing grace?

Sometimes it's shy, a whispered hint,
A barely-there curve of delight.
Other times bold, without restraint,
Beaming bright as morning light.

I long to trace its subtle arc,
To feel its warmth beneath my thumb.
To chase away encroaching dark
With laughter that has yet to come.

But for now, I simply observe,
This miracle of muscle and skin.
How swiftly it can soothe, unnerve,
Speak volumes where words haven't been.

I'll treasure each one that I see,
Store them like gems within my mind.
For in your smile, there seems to be
A promise of a love refined.

So smile on, let joy unfurl,
Upon your lips, a sweet refrain.
Each one's a gift, a precious pearl,
I hope to see time and again.
