Disclaimer: Stop the torture, because I don't!
Fifth poem! Inspired by a line from a story I read a while ago. Sadly, I don't remember it now.Curse this memory loss...Hope you like, with thanks to animeobessed3191 for reviewing!
-Ghost of A Smile-
It lingers
Like the smell of rain on the wind
A shadow that waits for the sun to make it reappear.
It sleeps
Catnapping for a moment, or maybe an eternity,
But alert for the time to appear.
It flits
Across lips unused to it
Like a humming bird, darting, only the memory of it's colorful flash reassuring you it was truly there.
It shines
Like a once forgotten star
That revives with new purpose for the one who wishes upon it.
It's caught
Forever in the mind
Imprinted on the darkness, a warm blanket to wrap around when the night is cold.
It's the ghost of something so rare no one ever saw it…
Until the smile lights warmly on the lips again…
For a moment.
Just to let them know-
That I can smile.
