The Bright Smile



I hear your voice and this smile comes.
My lips curl up,
  these dimples begin to hurt.
My heart flares and races on.
Fingers twined and tight.
Our shadows dance in the light,
 on the wall and the bed.
Your touch explodes inside my skin.
My breath is taken.
You helped me let go.
I laid down the extra luggage and spred my wings.
You embraced me, let me grow.
You saw me and made me glow.
I feel your touch and this smile grows.
