how simple to smile, pretentious or real
the intentions it may or may not reveal
the coy charm summoned each time you flirt
or the brave nod assuring your not hurt
the sensuous look with alluring eyes
a defiant glare unwilling to compromise
or fond reminiscing somewhere in the past
safe harbor are these that somehow last
the cordial we blush meeting someone new
the excitement of conversations we ramble through
the cunning wit untangling manipulative ploy
such as the milk not found in soy
an infectious smirk that discovers clever
or the crude abruptness of ties you sever
the hunch that validates a strong intuition
of course love soothes the human condition
to see kindness extended-no strings attached
to envision greed and war forever detached
liberating all hearts to dine in style
How wondrous to smile...
