A smile: it’s full of contradictions,
it’s a painting of red and blue,
a show of joyful despondence,
a pink mask with lips of a pallid hue.
It’s a master concealer,
for wrinkles, freckles and creases,
a sheep’s skin for wolves and
the sound of teeth grinding into pieces.
It cannot be trusted, yet it’s
the only indication of a genuine jewel
that endures the scorching heat and
is quick to cool.
Look carefully, and remember,
every smile holds a tale of real fiction.
