A Smile

A Smile, the white smile
that silently walks across the innocent lips,
of a sleeping baby.
Shrouded in mystery of unknown,
of the world that belongs only to him,
a world of pure bliss and beauty.

A Smile, the grey smile
that jumps to the fake crying lips,
of the little boy.
Who gets the toy he so much tricked for,
his first step towards learning,
the art of deceiving.

A Smile, the gold smile
that shines through the greedy lips,
of the man.
Victory of fulfilling one greed
out of the thousands that he cherishes,
only to add a some more.

A Smile, the blue smile
that slowly emerges from the beautiful lips,
of the lover.
When the cupid strikes and life,
seems a beautiful love story,
untill the fate bell rings and truth is out.

A smile, the red smile
that hides the truth of the cunning lips,
of your so called friend.
Who waits for the time to be ripe,
when it would hurt the most,
stabs your back with one swipe.

A smile, the black smile
that colours my quiet placid dry lips,
when you smile.
Tells the tale of you and me,
What it was and what it could be,
I was never you,
And you never me.

A smile, the colourless smile
that no one sees coming to the dead lips,
when you are gone.
A smile that says it all ended,
A smile of life assimilated,
No colour would again be needed.
