her smile

Her Smile




Her smile is

Hotter than a January day at the beach

With the blue sky that meets the ocean in the horizon

And the white crests of the waves lap against the sand

As a group of kids play cricket,

The batsman sprays sand as he slides the bat between stumps.



In the afternoon when,

The sun beats down on the tanned bodies that smother

Wind blown towels

With the near naked figures bounce around in the ocean,

While the surfers lie on their boards waiting for

The one wave to lift them up

And carry them back to shore.

Her smile is the fish that I catch

While I sit there with my rod,

Hour after hour

Waiting for the bait to be taken.



When the sandcastles

Melt away

As the incoming tide

Eats away at the base

And the wind tears away its roof.

Her smile

Brings to my stays

And heats my day.



Her smile brings enough warmth

To pick me up from a muddy August day

Making my January day,

Everyday that she is near.
