Sestina+(For+a+boy)

You will tell him something funny, And what will happen is amazing, His eyes light up, a brilliant turquoise And the face that he adorns Is far more than happy, The boy is smiley

His name, his face, is smiley, And sometimes we find it funny That anyone in the world could be so constantly happy, But most times, we find it amazing. Like Christmas lights on a tree, his joy his face adorns, And brings out his blazing eyes of turquoise.

If ever there was an appropriate eye color, it was this turquoise, For it is how he is—smiley, Whether it is his core or a façade he adorns, Or if there is a voice in his ear, whispering something funny. Something amazing, And it makes me happy

To see him happy And I get caught up in those sparkling gems, those powerful turquoise Eyes, they are bright lights, and they hypnotize me, they are amazing, And he is smiley. I wish that I could be the voice, whispering that something funny, I wish that I could be the one who makes him a smile adorn

For that smile he so adorns Can make the angriest person happy And it evokes a feeling ever so funny As if those turquoise Eyes were meant to stare into mine, all smiley And if they were, 'twould be amazing,

Yes, 'twould be amazing If that smile that he adorns Was meant for me, so that I may be smiley And so that we could be happy And I'd sink into passionate turquoise Pools, underwater. And it would be funny

To find out all his funny comments were aimed at me, would be amazing To find myself immersed in turquoise and wrapped in that smile he adorns, We would be happy, and I… well, I could be smiley
