Beauty 2

A Middle Eastern woman

Hides behind her curtains

 

Her beauty is mystery

Her slender legs like silk

 

Her eyes piercing and aware

Her feet so cautious, yet so precise

 

She takes a step forward to give you a glimpse

Then two more back as if to reverse the event itself

 

She moves her hands like smoke

She is beautiful

 

But once the incense disappears

Wisps away to leave clarity

 

All that is left is a woman

And truth

 

A woman that can hold secrets

Doesn’t always hold good ones

 

Her eyes whisper mystery

But only speak of sorrow
