Smiles

There are times I have been awake

While asleep within my soul

Waiting to for the mare to break

To release the passion I know.

Then you arrived to lightly nudge me along

Edging to the rim and looking down to darkness

You showed me the cliff to jump not off but from

To embrace what you offer, arms open I shall succumb

The darkness spans beneath my feet
Beyond which I cannot see
But I don't fret the darkness unknown
I can only see your smile within me it grows

The height at which I leap needs not to be expressed
The weight that rests upon my soul sheds upon each step
The chasm over which I've flown is left far behind
The ground upon which I land is heaven within my mind

Hold on tight to my passion and learn
What will become of the future you earned
Your anguish is gallant, your suffrage selfless
Your heart is loving , your beauty is endless

If time will tell what the future holds
Then time has whispered to me what it should not have told
For I know now what will become of us
The future will tell time and will help both of us

I don't require possession of one's soul
I don't demand restitution for time long lost
I require acceptance of me as a whole
I demand your smile and that's all it costs
