A smile--
what's behind it?
Teeth, menacing
growling
curling lips housing a tongue--
which is really a sword,
if you know anything--
and trapping those words
which we are dying to say but
don't.
The eyebrow messages flying,
saying all those little things
which cannot be heard
but may be read from the face,
an open book.
Whispers too soft to be made out
floating in the air between us
between me
and your smile
say the unthinkable:
I love you.
