The Smile

.

Darkness has transformed

To a moon lit night

And stars are twinkling

From their radiant light

.

The sights and sounds

And the aroma too

Overwhelms the senses

Like a delicious brew

.

The rustle of leaves

From a gentle breeze

That gently caressed them

As if to tease

.

The love filled calls

Of birds of the night

The fluttering of wings

As they take flight

.

The smell of roses

Enticing without refrain

Their aroma enhanced

By a recent rain

.

And in the night

Like in a dream

There stands a cabin

Near a rolling stream

.

And within this dwelling

Is a dim lit room

So elegantly befitting

Any bride and groom

.

There can be seen

Through an open window

A round golden moon

Bright but yet mellow

.

So cooling to the skin

A breeze soft and serene

Is felt coming through

The thin window screen

.

These and a lit candle

On a sturdy night stand

Cause shadows to move

Like the shifting of sand

.

On the walls of the room

So gracefully they dance

To the beating of a heart

And a man's silent glance

.

In a not so lit corner

He sits almost unseen

In a soft plush chair

Taking in a wondrous scene

.

Silently He does gaze

At a heavenly sight

One that he has not seen

Till this glorious night

.

For there, before him

On a four post bed

Lays a beautiful woman

With hair of red

.

The satin that attires her

Makes her seem so delicate

And the smell of her essence

Is so sensually exquisite

.

And while she sleeps

He hears her moan

And breathe a sigh

In a soft sweet tone

.

He sees her slowly move

And her charms can not hide

For now she faces him

As she lays on her side

.

Her soft tender hand

She does fondly place

Beneath her soft pillow

And pulls it to her face

.

And in that instant

With such beauty and grace

A smile can be seen

Upon her lovely face

.

He smiles with joy

And nods his head

For he vividly remembers

What had been said

.

She had lovingly said

That sleep would fetch her

With her thoughts filled

With a certain picture

.

And in reply he had said

That when to sleep she had gone

He would sit and watch her

Do what she had just done

.

So carefully hidden emotions

Suddenly seem to come alive

And his joy and happiness

On this seem to thrive

.

He feels love growing

In his heart so deep

As he sits and watches

Her smile in her sleep
