A Look -361 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK-361

When You Smile

When you smile,
The smile of Mona Lisa fades.
I grew up
With her portrait hanging before my mind's eye.

They say her smile holds depth and mystery—
But yours,
Yours has more grace, more beauty.
Its serenity touches the soul,
Penetrates deep within,
And makes one dance to its rhythm—
A feat Mona Lisa's smile
Could never accomplish
In all these years.

Your smile is no mystery—
It's a gesture of grace,
A spellbinding grandeur,
A miracle I live for.
