Smile's Awakening Poem by Walter Sanson Lotilla

Amidst the maddening crowd... I await...
My head, my eyes weaves... in eager anticipation
... searching for a face ... so long unseen

Far from the deafening hordes
... a glimmer of moonlight reveals a beauty
... a smile... so sweet... awakens
... to no end... charming my heart

A tight embrace beckons... an affection so longed

I sense imminent tears in her eyes
A face so sweet, yet it hides not even a trickle of despair
My heart bleeds... O’ cry not my dearest...
... be gone o’ misery, be gone
... a flicker of hope is always to behold

In the still of the night... we trod a path
... the warmth of her hand ... I felt
... radiating an aura of trusting innocence
... so precious

Stars aglow... as adieu imparted in a tight embrace
... a measure of comfort... is hoped
In a magical silence... so still ...
... a smile awakens... aah... so sweet to behold
... as she left my way...
