The princess that never smiles

She's the bride that never smiles
but her eyes are striking and dark
if you look deep, she's deep too
as if she can see the depth of your soul well
She kept a poker face beneath the veil
hiding her secrets well
And some of these secrets are not dark
as the empty well
but full of water and life
as if she seen the Universe
in the eye of the bird
and sounds of the insects buzzing in summer

She's the princess that never smiles
hiding her tears and fears
never showing to the eyes of her people, her court
and the prince she's destined to marry
not because of lack of love
it's because she's hard to understand
She never looks at you in the eye
and held a cold exterior

The prince comes with splendid gifts
he rode on an elephants and brought
wonders of many beasts to please her

She turned him away
not because she's hate him
but she's confused
how could anyone ever love her
if he doesn't know what's going on
in her fractured mind?

And it took the prince a long time
to understand through
rigorous meditation
that it wasn't his fault but rather
nobody ever told the princess that
she is beautiful
