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.
