       Eye Line Smile

It doesn't take much to lift a heart

Or cause our soul to swoon.

Just loving words or chaste kiss,

Can lift us round the moon.

Whether eyes are dark or light

They can twinkle and bewitch,

Causing a thrill right through you

As if someone clicked a switch.

Seeing can makes hearts flutter

With pulses racing with a touch.

There is no magic spell for this,

Just that we love so very much.

Contented sighs descend on us

Like some heaven sent cascade.

And nothing will keep us apart,

Even rivers, hill or barricade!

A plain face may cause sunrise

When it breaks into a smile,

And when that beam is loving

Joy will fast flow like the Nile!

Whether eyes are dark or light

They can twinkle and bewitch,

And if they sparkle just for you

Your whole life will enrich.

For in a world that's tough at times

Where you strive hard for reward,

Being drawn to loving eyes

May bring ecstatic life accord!
