Your Smile
Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT, topic: THE 60s - UNDER THE SEA and INTO SPACE.

My spirits drop deeper than Walsh and Piccard's
Decent to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

But, when you take my hand in yours and say,
"You are my only love" I'm always in Heaven.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
