Charisma
painting The Mona Lisa by Leonardo daVinci
"The way the smile flickers makes it a work of both art and science...
all of it goes into making the Mona Lisa's smile so mysterious and elusive." —
Walter Isaacson
I know something's wrong, when her brown eyes turn dark
yet when she is smiling, their green strikes a spark.
Note her long dark, black hair, deficient of style;
Tossing her head could make the smile more worthwhile.
While her ruby red lips lack any luster,
if she'd truly smile, I'd feel I could trust her.
The color of a smile that breaks forth unfurled?
It's charisma, pure light that brightens the world.
