BEHIND THE SMILE BY; DORCAS TIWAA ADDAI




Like the giddy sensation a sunny day blossom on our souls,
Lightening across the face
Form an eternal footprint in our memory,
Even a stranger's own creates a welcoming scenery
As mortals we be, nature never granted us the wish to foretell,
To foretell what actually lies behind the glistering teeth
The bowels of the earth mothers mysterious offspring
Oh yes, the showcase of our bony structure is no different
Watch brethren! Least you fall
As cunningly as a serpent may wriggle
A smile may be a facade that shadows the real being!
