That Smile

That Smile

The look that makes men mad
and losing all resolve
submit to her desires,
for just another glimpse
of that soul-dissolving smile.

It lights him up so well,
he floats for days on end
and when all else is lost,
recalls that potent smile.

She speaks so soft and sweet
and asks for nothing much;
all you recall are lips a'twitch,
that shake you to your core.

You work so hard to please,
you know not what you do;
you only know her face's promise
for you, your sole reward.

I close my eyes, I look away,
my freedom's just too dear;
but should I find that special one,
I'll look without a moment's fear,
surrendering my soul to her
for all eternity.
