Mona Lisa’s Smile
Probably woman maybe man, the look
of this person’s face, it still hooks.
Is it the thoughts kept deep inside;
was there really a secret to hide?
From everywhere people arrive in rows
to see the painting from up close.
This mysterious image of beauty
caught on canvas one ancient day
by a painter with a gift so great
we still don’t know what to say
La Joconde has become the icon
of the world we hide in our minds
the private jokes that linger on
the feelings we keep confined.
In these eyes and smile is still shown
a person with misty reflections
Would it have had the same attraction
if these thoughts had been known?
