The Shadow of your Smile

Your warmth envelopes me

in a snug embrace, and

the frost melts around my soul.

I bask,

in your sunshine glance.

You say it all-

your eloquence warms

the icicles of my heart.

I read your verse

and find myself tucked

in a metaphor.

I know you dip your nib in love

the love that you hide from

the world.

I do not say much

yet, my soul talks

with yours

My silence has a language

that's beyond words

I glow in the shadow of your smile

knowing how much I'm loved

If you could ever measure

 the dimensions of love

you would know

how much you are loved .
