Laughter
If i could write poetry about your laughter i would
It starts with your quiet smile
That brings rose blush to your pale cheeks
You widen into a giggle that brings back
A childhood you never left
The room filled with the sound melody
Of your growing joy and delight
You throw back your head into the light
You created when you grin like that
Bouncing back in notes of exhilaration
A sound of meaningful appreciation
Your lips pulled wide to reveal
Peals of raucous laughter
That makes me feel like you truly love me
Though your laughter might be rare
It leaves your face flushed with
Pink and golden happiness
That pulls my mine into your mirror
I can’t help but laugh with you
A sound of togetherness we must never leave
Your pure hearted song of exuberance
Makes me long to hear that sound
Again and again, but only by my own words
For your sparkling eyes and dimpled smirk
Tell me a story I shouldn’t want to hear
And when your giggles subside into
Your never ending halo-bending smile
I can’t wait to make you laugh again.
