"Smile My Love" by Azriel Johnson

The reverse of radiance relies on

the darkness derived from

flagrant flowing, flowering

shadows sharing sources of

light.

My hands harness and hold you,

young, yearning for you,

but beneath the beauty,

a distance divides our hearts.

"Give yourself to me," I beseech

you. "Break the bonds you

bear, yellowing, bringing your

beauty to its most miserable

malcontent thoughts.

"Smile my love, because the

fear will fade in time, and

the fear will be fleeting and

not fleecing if you let your

feelings find me following you.

"Smile my love, your smile is

signal enough, a beacon broadcast

over thousands of miles, directly

through to me. Allow your feelings

to allay your fears. Align your

fantasy to amend your ferocious

love.

"Smile my love, because the war

inside you, withers our love.

Don't deny yourself. Don't doubt

your heart. Let the light of

love illuminate, like liquid

hydrates a blighted land."
