Severus Alexander

That smile of yours

Those tired, joyful lights hold me in sway

And have never ceased to bring me home to you from troubled, foreign shores

 

Smoke and umber brush your smile away

Wind-weathered chips of agate, those eyes of yours

Like sand relapsing into waves

 

And to grin, should be my only recourse

For it has not faded, but kindled in your gaze

That smile of yours

    An other enigmatic. Returning home from distant shores to another seems simplistic on my part. Agate emplies semiprecious stone. Perhaps, however troubled you will always brighten my day. Enjoyed.
