Beauty Arched eyebrows, Pale face, Gaunt and pulled to the bone. Irregular features But serene and calm And fairy-like In her sorrow. Ethereal and beyond She looked the picture of the protagonist of her unspoken fantasies. Her smile so warm And stunning in its expression Of absent emotions. The irony of life With its "everything And nothing" Seemed to tease Her lips Into a half-smile. Eyes glistening Yet not a single tear-drop Fell. The abandonment of Her gait - her every movement Proved that anything beautiful Must come at a high price. Perchance My eyes fell On her: And startled I heard The mirror crack. (c) VedicVerses
