one pearly tooth

I hold on

to that string of pearls

in my hand

ever since

I first enjoyed

the pale shimmer that radiates

its translucency on us

reflecting on

everything we do

.

bead by bead

you have added lustre onto it

you strung it with your smiles,

cute ways

and your cheerfulness

you have knotted it with your love

they are no longer momentary

but speaks of

confident affirmations

.

silky smooth sheen that

brings us floating

in feathery lightness

not forgetting that one pearly tooth

at the side that I really like

let us dwell

in this powdery warmth

I appreciate that from you

truly..
