Love Poem: Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa

Even if it takes the ink of a 
thousand pens,
I'm going to write about Mona 
Lisa
in the wake of the night,
as soon my writing pad by ignite 
by the glow of the moonlight.

The first time I saw her my 
eyes froze upon the surface of 
her angelic appearance.

Within a wink of an eye the 
features that construct her 
beauty put me to sleep upon a 
soft pillow of imagination.

I tried to express myself, but 
my lips fluently speak the 
language of silence, 
because I submerged in a 
ocean of words, before I floated 
up on a thought of adjectives as 
I seek to articulate my feelings, 
then I realized that no 
adjectives on the tongue of men 
can adequately describes the 
feeling I felt for her.      

As I'm about to say something 
her smile paralyzed the words 
that I was about to say so they 
didn't get to walk off my lips.

I set my ravenous eyes free to 
feed on the flesh of her 
congeniality. 
I glimpse through uniquely 
crafted windows of her soul and 
i perceived heaven where she's 
from.
      
She swept me off my feet and I 
fell from the stand of my 
fantasy into love.
