Mona Lisa?

Mona Lisa who are you? Some say Leonardo’s other half But I don’t know- It just seems to me A girl like you could never be just a half- And your smile-it drives men mad? Is it really as extraordinary as they say? It just a smile nothing more A weak smile some have said But maybe that’s just it- The smile was never clear It does not appear that you were smiling for much Was it forced-were you truly sad? Or were you just tired and that smiled appeared? It’s all the same-it does not matter I just was wondering who you truly were Well, girl of flesh or of imagination You are a timeless mystery And I guess that is what has drawn you to me….

Smile~Are you drawn to Mona Lisa Ann? Tell me why--Is it because you relate to her in some way? Either or, this is a wonderful intro/questioning piece of writing--So much so I think I shall view another to see what you may be about...."Love & Warmth, John!":) ~
