True Identity

Innately elegant 

Glamorous lady

Exudes danger 

Downright feisty 

Blows smoke rings

Drinks neat whisky

Expert at putdowns

Some think her crazy

Only I am aware

Of her true identity

Beneath carapace

Of strength, beauty

Gossamer layers

Unique idiosyncrasies 

Glorious imperfections

Intricate vulnerabilities
