I wish I could see the other side
Of gently woven smiles,
Which hide behind themselves
Subtle words of prayer.
I wish I could see the other side
Of dark glistening eyes,
Which store in them
Gentle drops of rain.
I wish I could see the other side
Of embellished alluring disguise,
Which enclose in them
Tender forlorn countenance.
I wish I could see the other side
Of dubious hazy twilight,
Which hides behind itself
The secret rival of darkness.
