Two more poems to start the week.
The Smile
I look across the room
Searching through the
Crush of bodies
Seeking a familiar face.
I settle on the soft gaze
Of friendly eyes
Staring back at me
Slight wrinkles at the corners.
Projecting their amusement
At being found in the crowd
Lowering my gaze to his mouth
Lips turned upward parted slightly.
*******************************************
Misery
Your words wound more deeply
Than the sharpest blade
Your eyes show no loving gaze
Only the icy stare of hate.
Your touch is cold and hard
No gentle caress
My words fall on deaf ears
Only silence from now on.
A life together
Without love
Forever to live in misery
Loveless and lonely.
A woman's view of hunting...with men 
Favorite part! It really struck me. “Forever to live in misery
Loveless and lonely.” Wonderful work here!
Thank you. I love writing poetry, so much can be said without actually saying it.
Your welcome 🙂
I agree with what you’ve said. It’s so true.
Cheers!
Both beautiful – but I prefer the first, for its theme 🙂
