(This is a poem I wrote about my bf)

I Love The Way He Smiles.

I love the way he smiles,
The way it lights up his whole face.

His smile doesn’t meet his eyes,
But whose could in such a place?

I love the way he smiles,
The way It takes all my worries away.

But his smile is a mere reminder
of the things I cannot face.

His smile is something new,
Something no one else has known.

Something he has given me,
Like a dark forgotten home.

I love the way he smiles,
even if it’s at the wrong times.

Like when he is muttering nonsense to the air,
Talking about crossing all the lines.

His smile is like a safe house,
lets me momentarily forget

The things that are bound to happen in the future,
Including life and death.

But no matter what we do,
And no matter what they say,
I will always love the way he smiles.

I like this! It is so sweet and touching and it makes me smile. It is good to have someone in your life who can make you feel that way just by a smile. :smt001 Good Job! keep writing
He who laughs last, should do so from a safe distance.

Way, way back in the 1988 Presidential election, then Vice President George H W Bush had a phrase he liked to use: "A Thousand Points of Light." It refers to the idea that a community is made up of people who contribute in a thousand, different small ways, but with each helping to illuminate their community. It's a phrase I think about a lot when it comes to YWS. Looking forward, the site will continue to change and grow, but it will always remain a community dedicated to promoting creative writing as a favorite pastime.
