Dear Rebba, I think that these two poems should be posted in the linked verse section as two related free verses or as two separate short verses posted in the short free verse section.[ The word "eyes" provides the hidden link! I noticed it later] I have altered your words and arrangements slightly. Please check if they gel well!

1]
delight,
this beatific smile
spills forth light ~
equipoised heart flutters
sparkling in cheery eyes


2]
moving soulful eyes touch these dreams
hearken to their vast wordless speech
changing the shades of sorrow and grief


I notice you have used the 2/4/6/8/2 syllable count per line. So it is technically a cinquain with right syllable count. But i felt there is a lack of flow in the cinquanized(!) version.
