The shadow of your smile starts there, in your eyes,
I wonder at the promise that your eyes in their deepness hide.
When sun with shadows that it casts on earth in clouds glides,
Playing seek and hide, as if those shadows were my plight,
The shadow of your smile lying deeply in your eyes
Engages me in dreams, sweet dreams of better life.
And when all shadows on sun’s bidding simply die
Smile’s there, in your eyes, like an amazing guide.
Its mere shadow may be promising of love I dearly strive,
Such smile that if the time is right and season’s bright
Does blossom in a way all flowers do when love is ripe.
