She's More Than Meets the Eye

Her beauty’s words that speak her mind
So effortlessly they form on the lips
Exposing her being, her true soul and thoughts

Her eyes are as opals, so bright, so clear
Looking fondly to others, for beauty within
Seeing past what may be obvious, into the depths

Her essence is not the obvious, which shows
But proves to be that which she permits to be seen
One must know her to understand all that she can be
