The Ever Smiling Heart Poem by Lehlohonolo Selai

Through that storm came you
With a touch like of an angel perhaps
With your face brimming with delight
And glowing with utter brightness

With thoughts so sound and rational
I grew a weird sense of comprehension in you
As though you were meant to curb this mayhem
Yes, this madness that decorated my mind before

That ever smiling heart of yours
Which radiates joy and a little laughter
Picked me up from that hole so dark and fierce
That hole of pure, undiluted solitude

That ever smiling heart of yours
Spelled your character prior to your appearance
For through your words I read no cruelty
For through your words I perceived inner beauty

That ever smiling heart within you
Glued my thoughts to my phone
For that's where we first met and still do
That ever smiling heart of yours

Now the thoughts curling from within
Have got me fishing for answers in a dry pond
But fortunately I caught one
You are a friend to my heart
Yet a stranger to my eyes

So I walked tall on the streets
With joy and satisfaction in my heart
Yes, I held on to one tiny picture
That of your ever smiling heart so that
Should we meet, I will know
