Ever After... Poem by Nestor David Armas

You are beauty in high definition;

Like Rembrandt's greatest rendition,

You exude elegance;

Causing a delayed remembrance,

Catching everyone's eye;

As you float gracefully by,

Provoking wonder;

As all burst asunder,

From the top of your head;

To the tips of your toes can be read,

Humble acknowledgement of you;

As so many exquisite things do,

But one thing troubles me so;

Why your smile is rare, I'd like to know,

For someone so charming;

Your unhappiness is quite alarming,

Who would dare make you cry?

Such an idiot deserves to die,

But for now I pray for your laughter;

One day soon you will get your happily ever after.
