Beautiful Visage

I'm conquered by the grace of your smile

All of the symmetrical lines of your face net me in for a while

From the way your cheekbones elevate to form your grin

Or the way happiness curls up your chin

To the uplifting flare of your nostrils

You share the beauty of an age old gospel

All the way down to your gnarled teeth

I can always look to you as a sign of relief
