Infectious Smile

Accidental Poet



 Infectious Smile

 

When Sharon smiles

She could make the stars jealous

Evident as they twinkle

Growing all the more zealous

 

Such as I

The young lad of ten

In silent awe of her

Wondering where I’d been

 

That before that day

I’d known nothing to speak of

Suddenly I found myself

Fallen into love

 

She smiled and halted me

Dead in my tracks

All train of thought

Amid heart and soul a new pact

 

That this girl

This smile will live in me

For all my days

Every second eternally

 

For when Sharon smiled

Within me the sweetest of change

From a boy to young man

This one girl could rearrange

 

Year after year

The course of countless sundials

I’ll never forget

Sharon’s infectious smile

  • Accidental Poet

    Thank you so much Kat. Thrilled that you like it. Finally I've been able to post a video with a poem.

    • Accidental Poet

      I just went to Youtube, found the video I wanted to use, and copy & pasted the first code I saw into the Youtube slot in the MPS page for publish a poem. This is just my first successful attempt, so tomorrow I'll try it again. Hope it works for you too.

      AP,
      Your poem is infectious! Kris Kristoffersonā€™s video was a perfect accompaniment to your poem! Great job you did!

      • Accidental Poet

        Thank you Laura, and your compliment is very appreciated.

      • Christina8

        That is so amazing! What a testament to your love. I remember the poem to Sharon, I didn't realize you were together all these years! Congrats! Wonderful poem!!! And video

        • Accidental Poet

          I've not seen Sharon in 46 years since she moved away in 1971 when we were both only 14 years old. And it was really a one sided love. But I did tell her before she left. Thanks for reading Christina.

          • Christina8

            Oh sorry! I feel silly. Thanks for clearing that up.But it is a wonderful poem!

            Good write and video AP.

          • orchidee

            Did you do copy and paste of the title bar, when posting the video?

            • Accidental Poet

              Title bar? No, I hit "share" and a code appeared, I copied that into the Youtube slot in MPS Publish a poem. Then wahlah, it worked.

              • orchidee

                Ahh I see. I myself usually choose the title bar (the code) of the You Tube videos, then do 'copy' and 'paste'.

                • Accidental Poet

                  ok, I'll keep that in mind too. Thanks orchi.

                  • orchidee

                    Bit tricky to select the title bar sometimes. It goes blue in my case when I have selected it, then right click for 'copy' and then on poetry site, right click for 'paste' in 'upload youtube video' - if that helps!

                  • Fay Slimm.

                    • WL Schuett

                      A love poem for certain but the story is sad ....

                      • Accidental Poet

                        I guess it's all point of view WL. For me its always been a blessing for the short time she was in my life has grown with me as I got older. Those four years I look back on with the biggest smile. Thanks for reading WL.

                      • Michael Edwards

                                Yes, I was thinking about what you had said, and I saw a different code than the one I was using. So I tried that and it worked. So 'tis I who should thank you Ron.
