My Mona Lisa
For centuries, she would be beguile
the whole world with her famous smile,
but I couldn't make her grin (or laugh) -
well, only just a half.

Someone stole my face
and hung it in a bright room—
called it self-portrait.

The Mona Lisa
And The Mona Lisa is tired - her canvas cracked from stares
A billion eyes dissect but no-one repairs
Her smile is a lie
Just a facade created to survive
They worship the fallacy but the woman's been lost.
Forgotten in history
her own identity to her remains a mystery
She had a voice once, a name, a life-
Now, she's only a

Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa
Love is black, so was she.
I have regrets at not asking, but it was never gonna be.
If we dared to love, we would have broken apart,
The truest form of feeling good.
Memories I hold.
I paint their picture like a masterpiece.
It’s starting to look old.
People come and people go.
It’s the stories they tell you

PAINTINGS OF THE SOUL
Her story she wished to repaint
With each step, she refined a stroke
Striving to create a perfect picture
An abstract, where every feeling is captured.
In her old portrait
Black was dominant and vibrant
Seeping into every corner of her canvas
Even surpassing the edges.
The paintings of her soul
She sought to redo
Crafting a masterpiece
With an entirely

BLACK MONA LISA
BLACK MONA LISA
Art renaissance, a masterpiece did appear,
A captivating portrait, both bold and sincere.
Splintering ebony grace, a figure so rare,
The Black Mona Lisa, with brown eyes and flair.
Her visage, a canvas of shadows silent night,
A drapery of contrast, a mesmerizing sight.
Her ebony skin, like a moonlit night's kiss,
Radiates elegance, impossible to dismiss.
Her brown eyes

MONA LISA -5th place, 1st place
A smile, so deep like midnight sleep
There's secret hidden in her peep
A painted face of mystery
Crafted in guise of mastery
Even the ancients did not know
The meaning in her mystic glow
Her amber spark, like deep sea gold
Harbors a depth that was untold
There's something in her dark-brown hair
That casts

Instructions To Da Vinci
If she does not look pretty you can forget your pay
Leonardo watched the patron keenly that day
She had better not look corpulent, make her look thin.
da Vinci knew now what a pickle he was in.

Who Steampunked Up Mona Lisa
Who steampunked up the Mona Lisa?
I did not know but I thought Michelangelo would have laughed.
One of those big open-mouthed gaping teeth laughs
Where milk comes shooting out of your nose.
That’s how it struck me.
Of course, I have never been fond of her.
She is too stuck up for me.

Mona Lisa Smile
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euje6vQu-6g
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?
Well, is your smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to
