PROMPT #68 “A SMILE TO REMEMBER”

Jiker20125017329498

My intangibility

Was never intended

As an imposition

A whisper,

Like the inflation

Of ghostly wings

I wished to be

As deft as light

Face down in cumulus

Bewilderment,

An anodyne of sorts

 

When love arrives

It comes as a sunrise

And I, a sleeping witness,

Who never understood

My place in life’s turnings

Have become as salt

Ejaculating in drought

 

A fist doesn’t furnish

A capacity equivalent

To the human heart

And if not for this haze

I might have a smile

Worth remembering
