Smile Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

When a smile is not
allowed to be finished
its beauty multiplies
How beautiful this
partial smile is
and then how beautiful
it will be if it is complete.

Where does a smile
spring from and how
does the recipient
get the feel that it
was meant for him
No, a smile is not the
answer to any question.

It is not of the lips
but of the heart
Even a truncated smile
is a delight to watch
for smile can't be quantified
It takes a bit of fortune
to see a smile emerging
from the right person.

It has the power to
move a heart that yearns
for its fleeting presence
day in and out.
So when the lips part
and the smile emanates
where is the scope
for complaint for
it being curtailed.
And the heart has chosen
the eyes to identify
the smile meant for it.

And the eyes never miss
them when the smiles
meant for the heart
dance on the lips
Smile is a smile
small or big
extended or truncated
when it is from the heart
and is meant for the heart.
