Her smile

She warms the moment with her smile.

Barely as I knock upon the door

It opens wide,

And wider still her countenance

With eyes that shine a mixture

Of both welcome and surprise,

Envelopes me and gently bears

My anxious heart within.

Gentler still, her soft embrace

Discovers that our bodies thus

Were fashioned eons hence

By nature’s knowing wit,

Whereby our union produced a perfect fit.

She warms the moment with her smile,

When parting I must fly

The safety of her arms and patiently abide

Till we can meet again

Upon the next returning tide.
