Expressions


Expression – an internal emotion
Shown on the face
You see it in the eyes
You hear it in the voice
You feel it with the touch
A smile, a tear, a frown
Seen everyday on each face
Open display of our feelings

The tear-comes with birth
Shed more often
Than can be remembered
It travels from the most beautiful part
The silent,but speaking,eye
Why it chose the eye?
So that the look can melt stony hearts
So that the pain can be relieved beautifully
So that, it gives way to a serene dreamless sleep.

The frown ; some wear it always
‘Tis just a contraction of muscles
But it speaks strongly
It expresses concentration
Shows anger
Follows the doubtful thoughts
And stands upon our brow when we ponder.

The smile- Oh! So beautiful!
Though it spreads on the lips ,
It lights up the face
It brightens the mood
Makes someone’s day
Holds the flow of tears from someone’s eyes
Makes someone feel special
Attracts many and makes heads turn

Gives a pleasant feeling
Lightens the burdened spirits
Consoles a broken heart
And showers the radiance of love
The simplest, yet , the most powerful - the smile

The face – a palate for the colours of expressions
Has many more colours on it
But not everything can be put into words
After all , they are Expressions....

true not all expressions can be put into words...wonderful poem...something very different. today expressions have become plastic...we are all so used to masks...a question to the lovely poetess...Do we understand true expressions?

The answer to an even lovlier dada....You very well can understand expressions, if you r sensitive enough to feel what they imply...It depends on your perception...not on the person who displays the expressions...
