Portrait of The Mind

by JJ   Dec 17, 2005


Stubborn tears
trickle down
her pretty face
staining marks
of imperfection

constant reminders
of the pain
that lies concealed
behind this image
she portrays

seemingly flawless
her perfect smile
is merely an illusion
a portrait of the mind
shadows in a stranger's eye

(and suggestions are always appreciated)
