To See You Smile

I appreciate the comments :shoutbox:

And the favorites :+fav:

But I really wish
I could see you smile. :)To See You Smile9 months ago in Free Verse

SmileDo you know
What you do to me?
You make me smile
Every time you look at me.
We laugh and joke
You know just what to say
But I hope you know
You make me feel this way.
I get all these silly butterflies
And I can't hardly
Look you in the eyes.
When you call me beautiful
I feel so,
You make me blush
And you always know
And even though
I've been sad for quite a while,
You always know
How to make me smile.Smile6 years ago in Free Verse

Fake SmileGreeted by her vibrant cheer,
The happy girl that's always here
Has a very grim secret, I fear;
Her friendly smile is fake.
She has a heart that's big in size,
But her smile does not reach her eyes.
She tries to fool us with her lies,
Because her warm smile is fake.
It's become a daily task
To hide behind a grinning mask.
Oh my dear, I have to ask,
Why is your smile fake?
She's a girl that's pure of heart,
And she's been like that from the very start,
But her mind and soul have been torn apart,
Making her loving smile fake.
My little dear, I see the truth;
Countless others have tarnished your youth.
You're broken, my dear, aFake Smile2 weeks ago in Free Verse

Watching you smile from afar...
You don't even know who you are.
You don't think through,
The things you say.
Your mind is peculiar,
in every way.

How do you smile,
Through all of your fear?
How do you live,
When life isn't clear?
How do you love him,
When he doesn't stay?
When I wish to see you,
everyday...

Why do you laugh,
When life gets hard?
Why do still wish,
On broken stars?

You know that love's far away,
Still you try,
With me in the way.Smile.1 year ago in Free Verse

Mask It With a SmileGrin.
No, not that big.
Show a few teeth...
There, that's more like it.
Go wash your face,
That's better.
Your cheeks are less flushed,
So rejoin your friends.
Someone just told a joke,
Laugh along.
Let the sparkle reach your eyes,
Now no one'll notice they're red and puffy.
"Hey, how are you?"
Tell them you're good
and re-direct the question to them.
You're too quiet,
and your mind is wandering...
Join the conversation.
Don't forget to
Smile,
Smile,
Don't forget to
Smile,
and they wont suspect a thing...Mask It With a Smile2 years ago in Free Verse

SmileSmile;
It can only get better from here
You've reached rock bottom,
You can't be forced down anymore.

Smile;
You've made it this far.
You may be broken and bleeding,
But you're not going to be for too much longer,
{You're a survivor}

Smile;
You're no longer all alone.
There's people here now,
They'll try to help you, help yourself.
{You're the only one who can save you}

Smile;
Someone heard your pleas,
You've called out,
Now you're going to get the tools you need,
To lift yourself back up.

I know you've cried tears beyond number,
I know that you never let them show.
{I've been there too}

Learning to Smile

THE CUTIE MARK POEMS
– Ponies with Amorphis [Click here for the accompanying song] Learning to Smile

I was a child of stones
A daughter of the rock farmers
No joy was known there
But gloom and endless working

Under the hot, blazing sun
The barren fields, all without green
Granites were our flowers
Our grass made of sand and gravel

I breathed the choking air on the wordless world
I walked on soil bare of seeds…

In a poor family among rocks
A child was born with a bright mane
Pink coat in colorless home
Such a punchline in a grey world

Gathered rocks in silence
Aching hooves our pay for a hard work
Dust on my eyes Learning to Smile10 months ago in Songs & Lyrics

Smile In My Sleep

You can't see me
You can't tell me who I want to be
What can I do to
Convince you
That I am all you'll ever need?
And I start to understand
And I smile in my sleep

Death watcher
Dream taker
Stone believer
Heart breaker

I watch you Mr. Death
I know what you want
Dying is you're greatest
Torture, you taunt
Me with life
I smile knowing
You can't get me this time

So forgive the misgivings
I've tried so hard to find you
I even see you in my dreams
You're face turned blurry and hued
And I waved goodbye to Mr. Death
As I breathed my last breath
As I smile in my sleepSmile In My Sleep8 months ago in Free Verse

SmileThe sadness in your eyes is nothing new to me
I can't seem to do anything right
I can't seem to make you smile from your heart
I don't want you to be unhappy
Those are my real thoughts as I tell you to leave and never come back

The leaves outside move with the rhythm of the wind
And the birds that sing early in the morning
Have become quiet and hide away from the world

The rain falls and I watch you leave for the last time
I know you will never come back to me
But I understand, it's all my fault
You put up with me for so long
It wouldn't be long
And I screwed up again

For all the things I have put you through
For all the times Smile3 years ago in Free Verse

When I'm lying in my bed,
When I wake up in the morning,
When I go to sleep at night,
I smile.

When I hear your voice,
When I feel your touch,
When I see your sweet face,
I smile.

When you hold me close,
When you say my name,
When you run your fingers through my hair,
I smile.

Every thing you do,
Every time we are together,
Every time I think of what we got,
I smile.Smile8 years ago in Free Verse

SmileSmile and forget your worries
Smile; let them see you're happy
Smile and hide behind this mask
Smile; submit to the façade
Smile and think that you're happy
Smile; think that you're safe
Smile and start dying inside

Smile and become nothingSmile1 year ago in Free Verse

The Boy With A Smile10 months ago in Urban & Spoken Word

SmileSmile,
One last time,
Just for me.

Please?
Where did it go,
It was so perfect…

It brightened up,
Everyone's day,
Especially mine.

It was so mocking,
So beautiful,
But now it's gone.

What happened?
What made that smile,
Be replaced with a grim scowl?

Can I do anything,
To make a light like that,
Come back?Smile4 years ago in Free Verse

Troll paper2 years ago in Visual & Found Poetry

A SmileI'm waiting terrified for the last decision,
You gently touch the knife,
My heart is pounding, waiting for the lethal incision,
I almost see the blade shedding the liquid of life,
I hear myself choking with my own blood,
The sound of the knife rending my flesh - a deafening thud.

But your hand goes further; over the axe it leans,
Shining ruthless under your fingers,
I'm about to die, by all means,
A sick suspense lingers,
I almost hear the sound of my breaking bones,
The gushing blood, the moans,
But no; your hand, well, further it goes.

"A gun? "
With it easily it will be done,
Infix the cold metal and let me bleed to death,
A Smile1 year ago in Free Verse

I Smile BecauseThe touch of your breath is like a rainbow sigh
Tingles more than my skin,
Brushing warmth to more than just my heart,
And occasionally leaves me breathless in need.

I can feel the swimming gracefulness of your lips,
Seemingly carrying waves and waves of trembling want.
And the glitter of ocean in your eyes is one of a kind,
Just like the love scented hands you are holding me with.

And these words are words I could never speak aloud,
Because when I am confronted by your eyes,
My heart always feels like surrendering,
Slowly, to your every need.I Smile Because3 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word

6am: Rising to crackled reception,
                I breathe,
                stomach rising
                and falling,
                this, the mimicked serenade to sunrise,
                performed the whole world over.

8am:         In the kitchen,
                stale bread
                and a coffee cup
                invite me to breakfast.

                Reading headlines,
                I count morning on both hands,
                four espresso ribbons,
                draped over the pages,
                filling where ink cannot.

12pm:       I lie on the small square of grass

Fake SmilePut on a fake smile
Throughout the whole day
Hide all my pain
That will never go away

Feel the tears coming
But I don't let them out
Keep my depression bottled
Don't even shout

Go home and am reminded again
Of the pain I can not bear
Add yet another mark
See if you care

Another day rises
I run out the door
Put on my fake smile
And endure all the pain once moreFake Smile8 years ago in Free Verse

SmileA mask to layer your pain,
Cover it and tint it with
Light mood.
A thin strip of flesh across thy face,
And tis' the magic begin,
And happiness rejoice! Smile1 year ago in Free Verse

The smileYou have a smile to die for
Beauty beyond compare
I would love to sit beside you
All that flesh exposed and bare

You have a smile to die for
And you really have no shame
Lying on a sunny river bank
Girl you know this isn't a game

You have a smile to die for
My pretty Florida queen
You know I kind of love you
So please don't treat me mean

You have a smile to die for
But I'll still refuse that swim
For Alligators are dangerous
And If you catch me I wont win!The smile2 years ago in Free Verse

SmileSmile,
Because they're watching.
Smile,
Even if it causes you to break.
Smile,
Because they're looking this way.

They expect you to be happy.
Aren't you happy?
You must be happy, you have so much.
Even though there is so much more,
Few can look beyond the sun
And into the horizon.

Smile,
Because they're watching.
Smile,
Even if it causes you to break.
Smile,
Because they're looking this way.

All I want I can't want.
All I need I can't need.
All I have I can't have.
All I am I can't be.
They decided all this for me.
They took me and whittled me down,
Into something they can expect,
Into something they can understand,Smile1 year ago in Free Verse
