Poem: Does it Really Make A Difference if Your Heart Is In Tact?(01/03/11)

Height doesn't matter when you have a vintage smile,
Remisicent of Humphrey Bogart,
Ole' bogie and his million dollar smile,
Toothy yet shy,
Sly yet sweet,
Sweet yet flattering,
The perfect combination of being a man,
And,
Being vulnerable,
Yes,
Height doesn't matter when you have a vintage smile.

Height doesn't matter when you have almond eyes,
Reminds one of the soft brown an almond exudes,
The way it's shape is a pointed oval,
Pops into the mouth with simplicity,
Never overwhelming taste buds,
Yet just the right consistency of salt,
And,
Sweetness,
And,
Crunchiness,
Yes,
Height doesn't matter when your eyes are almonds.

Height doesn't matter when your words shimmer,
Shimmer like the moon's light bouncing off lake michigan,
The way light creates an oil painting in night's darkness,
Even though,
You know you'll never have perfection,
Yes,
Height doesn't matter when your words shimmer.

So,
To those of you who dread being short,
Being too tall,
Read this little poem,
Look deep within your chest past bones and organs,
And you'll see height doesn't matter when you're you
