The Mona Lisa, The Louvre Museum, France
faded beauty
teasing smile
she has a secret to tell
stuck in her gilded frame
a cage
the story of her birth
her life
her resurrection in the form of art
a memory
no one special
ordinary
ready to take on the world
crowding people come to see
everyone has come for me
high on a wall this is my perch
handed down by merchants from father to son
all the while gaped at
so alone, yet everyone is my friend
out of reach, yet i am reaching down
the secret is i want you
