There is a smile beneath
the frown
tucked under
the smirk
and
somewhere behind the demure scowl
there is hidden
under the glare--a gaze
This Crystal has
so many surfaces and
like a Spanish
onion,
so many beautiful
layers that
one must arduously peel away
to know her,
and like the onion
it may bring tears to your eyes.
