Dear Mona Lisa<br />
Do you remember the conversations we<br />
had in my dreams?<br />
Can you recall the words I whispered to<br />
you while you were in my thoughts?<br />
Screaming secrets that you kept<br />
Not a single day have you wept<br />
Smiling at the world-as if to please<br />
Your smile kept my lonely nights chilly.<br />
Un-musk yourself<br />
Let your eyelids tell the tales of the hurt<br />
behind that smile<br />
The tears beyond those rigid eyes<br />
Let your hair down<br />
Frown upon a purple moon – and curse<br />
at the sun<br />
For angels with broken wings that cast<br />
broken arrows,<br />
Because they sold you broken dreams,<br />
Mona Lisa.<br />
Warrior you are- that smiles during trying<br />
times<br />
A hurricane, Pharaoh of all forms<br />
You have won wars with no weapon<br />
Weakened the knees of soldiers<br />
See, you stood with kings during trials<br />
While your presence was faint<br />
So today I want to tell you it is okay to<br />
keep a straight face,<br />
cause even with decades of that smile<br />
Your silence still scar's my heart.<br />
Say something Mona Lisa , say<br />
something.<br />
