The Mystery

How can someone's smile be so tranquil and sad at the same time?
As if struggling with some inner devil
Trying to vanquish some monster from her past
As she tries to discover her true emotions

Her placid gaze can keep you transfixed
Her voice of reason can enthuse you
Dismissing all your pointless thoughts
Strengthening you
Ready to face anything
Yet the gravity in her gaze can reduce you to a blubbering idiot
Hypnotised by her charm
By her wild locks of hair

An air of mystery surrounds her
Shrouding her every move, her very word
As innocent as a child
And yet as cold and pragmatic an an adult
She's beautiful and yet she doesn't know it

As I sit back trying to unravel this beautiful bundle of contradictions
Only a few fleeting a answers cross my mind
Maybe I am not worthy enough to discover them
Maybe only she can understand herself
But its a small price to pay
For getting to stare into those eyes

panda i never knew you were so sad from inside any way the poem is well written.I think it is quite a constructive way to vent your frustration.
