Lisa Mona Lisa

Celebrating the famous portrait

Lisa Mona Lisa my darling

Your gaze through panes of past

Majesty behind walls of a future land 

Queen without crown by circumstance

Forever bringing thee to life in mind and heart within

And any thoughts beyond that's left

Become the years, the hours, minutes wept

Of ye, the one I've never glimpsed, been near nor ever met

Two souls eons old energies extract unseen

From this existing temperal plane's acknowledgment

Where thou art an angel of my dreams

From on high hath heaven sent

A plea to open air a mere inquiry unto thee

Of dark suit suitors beware

With a single eye and upon one weak knee

For nothing less than to capture thee than love share

A prize to hang; a trophy to the lair

Upon walls accompanied by despair

But thy smile, thy smile my dear is light

Of myriad subtle mystery of a maiden fair

Tis the key, thy legacy and heir

Apart to thee further and to be free

And if fate halts thy forlorn destiny

Then my own open tears shall be thy revelry

Who can say that a spirit cannot transcend the space and time? Perhaps she is yours already

[Michael G. Smith]

True Tate, thanks for a new perspective.

[Rita L. Sev]

This is superb, Mike - classic feel to the language. This is a perfect companion to Leonardo's painting!

[Michael G. Smith]

I thank you. I know I have achieved what I set out to by this compliment.

Tis the key, thy legacy and heir
Apart to thee further and to be free

Then my own open tears shall be thy revelry

I love the last lines, specially then my own open tears shall be thy revelry... I felt so connected took me back in Paris, standing in Louvre and viewing magnum-opus of Leonardo Di Vinci and your work is also not lesser than Leonardo...Congrats my friend simply amazing

I think Mona Lisa just smiled a little brighter Mike, I really like that last stanza. Well pen'd.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Frieda. My inspiration is too see the original painting in real life.

[Frieda P]

You planning a trip to France? Would be nice to capture her enigmatic smile up close...

[Michael G. Smith]

In the near future perhaps four more years on our 20 th anniversary. Two of my daughter's went why can't I, lol.

[Frieda P]

Ha...I know what you mean, my kids just recently went to Italy.
