Braided Beauty

She exudes a Mona Lisa like mystique With a beauty beguiled by Medusa's locks There is no smile of which to speak That image the imagination can't block She has closed the windows to her soul With an expression of a broken heart Yet she remains calm and in control No tears of sorrow does she impart Will she ever find love again A sweet caress, or tender kiss Or is it all just in vain To find a love to give her bliss I only wish I knew her name So I could sing her a serenade I'll call her Eva just the same The beautiful girl with lovely braids. -- 8/4/17
