Smile


A small twitch

Curving the corners

Of his soft lips

 

The chasm widens

A glare of white

Protecting the black within

 

Eyes curve upwards

Mimicking below

Wrinkles form underneath

 

Loud and boisterous

Yet quiet in sound

Warmth flows from him

 

He smiles wide

Caramel orbs

Welcoming me home
