The Arc Of Smile Poem by ONElia AVElar

The Arc Of Smile

Rating: 3.5


A face
emerged again from space...
Time,
a distorting soulless mirror
changes brutally the shapes...
But yet the smile,
that arc of lips,
the curves,
the flaps,
becoming deeper
like palm lines
where an identity
was saved;
unaltered ego of a kid
a childish corn -
the arc of smile
for life archived.

There is nothing quite as beautiful as a natural smile - and the smile you have painted here is one that lights up the page. Lovely imagery throughout.

You are a juggler of words and imagery who slowly and silently steals into the readers' heart and finally captures it. Your innocent arched smile through two curved rose petals is really winsome. It is superb poetry and flows wonderfully well.

A deliberately mysterious poem and seeming to have a hidden meaning in its essence. The Arc of Smile indeed remains the same through ages and spreads the happiness in its divine pattern...... Best Wishes Naseer

It's true, a face may change, gets older, but a smile stays mysteriously the same. :)
