Far beyond pretence she is,
not like the usual kind
with a talent so intriguing
and a mind so intimidating.
Years of experience,
lie hidden in those deep eyes.
A graceful demeanour,
a beautiful smile.
But those eyes,
if someone ever saw through them,
knew she was never the usual kind.
She is the leader
of her own life
with roaring courage,
that let her survive
through the deepest waters
and the darkest nights.
There was so much pain,
yet she smiled.
Her strong will, her love
and the insane passion
for art is all she had, still has.
Oh, that woman went places,
lived every moment
with no regrets
and all those memories
she creates on the way
remain her dearest treasures.
She could give up,
she had all the reasons.
But the strength of her soul
sailed her through every season.
People left, life changed,
but her love, her passion
are what always remained.
For the chaotic world around,
she’s just any other woman,
yet not the usual kind.
For her strength, her boldness
and her diamond like brilliance
inspires every soul around.
She’s fearless and proud
of the scars that life gave
for true beauty is found
in art, beyond the flaws.
One look at you
and she’ll see through you.
For her eyes know
what’s real and true.
I often wonder
what a magnificent place
her mind would be.
A melange of colours, maybe?
Confidence is her best accessory
and that’s all that makes her
what a woman of substance must be.
