HIDDEN PAIN

Staring with a smile

On your eyes that reveal

So much agony

Of the weeping heart in you

Standing erect and straight

On a limping bent skaleton.

Pretending nothing is astray

Hiding pain

In pearls of laughter,

on you, I see a nature's

Good course

In you, I feel fate's

Misfortune

You, a modelled idol
Of smeared happiness.
