Smile

When she smiles...
The entire world comes to a sudden hault
I'm free from my shortcomings and faults
I fall further than fallen angels
Solve my tangent angles
Cuz tangent slang goes all around in circles
Without finding the radius that maybe us is the point we should try to find

When she smiles...
The walls of a room take a bow
Whether two, ten, or ten thou-
She raises my eyebrow
Its how she shows no thong or navel
That they don't know how to love a love like that
In fact, it's scary how barely brushing against my side when walking by
Has left me sugar plum visions of your

Smile...
For me like Mona Lis
I'd paint your picture with my words
But it'd be just another piece
Probably the greatest poem in the world
But it would only be a piece
Of a portion endorphins release like movie theater freshed-popped popcorn
I've got more questions about your life than God has time
And they all fade away when she

Smiles...
The way smog dissipates in the rain
She's reigns her happiness on my blisslessness
This is this jonesin' love Love Jones tried to depict
And missed it cuz Nia Long was a long way from her
Brown Sugar ain't that sweet to her
Stopped playing basketball with the homies
So it's just Love & Basketball Love for her

She smiles
I smile
Our hearts smile

All while smiling angels sing songs with our names streaming in the sky
The letters of love, light, linger in her eyes
She tries pretending the hinting I'm sending is missing
Sensing near endings of the night
It's time to introduce myself and start the rest of my life

Smiling.

You took my riding on a
rocket, made me a star.
But then a half mile from
heaven you dropped me
back to this cold world.
