Frozen Smile!

A smile etched in face Etched in history

A smile etched into infinity and beyond

A smile shrouded in mystery

A smile so alluring,

came to be etched and staying etched forever

in the generations before and in the generations after

A smile Leonardo da vinci’s magnum opus!

A smile captivating billions

A smile making heads squeeze, think

A smile causing loss of sleep

A smile causing a loss of a life too

A billion, trillion dollar smile!

How it came to be?

By the magic painting technique?

By the peripheral vision’s limited view?

Or By Monalisa the Madam Lisa’s mind vision

Creeping into the face as a bewitching smile?

Whichever, what ever  the way it came to be

The secret code stays uncracked

Yea, The smile  stays forever  in the minds

A glorious smile, a victorious all conquering smile-

The glory and story go on forever

Long live the smile, Long live Mona Lisa, Long live Leonardo da vinci!
