Oh, misty smile;
Can I ever understand thee!
A smile you are, an enigma as well.
Cruel you are, filled with mercy as well.
Devilish you are, angelic as well.
Crafty you are, sincere as well.
Dangerous you may be, harmless as well.
Beautiful you are? Only time can tell.
Alarming you are, like a ringing bell.
Breath-taking you are, breath-giving as well.
Deadly you are, ruthless and fell.
A symbol of love you are, of malice as well.
Heaven's radiance you are, albeit a gust from hell.
Geisha thou art, irksome as well.
A jewel you are, which no one would sell.
In hearts and minds, on lips you dwell.
Soft as a whisper, loud as a yell.
Oh, misty smile!
Reveal your mystery;
Come close and tell!
