                                What do you tell me, My Beauty?

                                         You turn and stop..,
                            you look at me with your wistful eyes,
                    your luscious lips are apart, but you remain voiceless…
                                    The pearl in your ear shines ~

                           light on your face shimmers mysteriously,
                           your eyes are calm ~ reflecting, refracting 
                                   the depth of your emotions…
                          those dove-like eyes are artist’s inspiration!

                             The topaz blueness of your headscarf
                        with which you have covered your sensuality,
                              surround your face with serenity of
                                 the ocean, gleaming emerald green
                               of your dress evokes the unspoilt
                                         beauty of your youth…..

                                  You are not what you appear
                             to many souls in this mundane world…
                               they don’t see the painter’s Muse…
                            You are the nymph, who visited me
                               for a rare moment of tranquility,
                                the Pearl shone, an iridescent
                              gem sparkling, opening your heart~

                               You remain immortal in my creation...
                                                    my masterpiece?!
