Smirk

Just by slanting your lips, flaunting your quirk

Sometimes I dream of watching you smirk

That crooked half- smile that slowly nurtures

Sometimes I dream of it kissing my sutures

Squeezing and sucking away all the murk.

A tease of a laugh that works like clockwork,

Something about that mischief keeps me up perk

By nature you know how to torture

Just by slanting your lips.

If I could fix your smile to make it work

Decompress your heart and make it jerk

I’d never try to make it full on cheshire

Because something only in a half-smile that stirs

A kind of passion that could make firework

Just by slanting your lips.
