To the golden boy with looks to brag
so close to a perfect look envied by some hag
will you look and see that there's beauty beneath
or turn a blind eye when in your front seat...

Those beautiful moments collected between two
yet stressful times contested by the few
that turn away from the beauty in the mirror
that focus on the person where love is clearer...

Clearer on the inside of course
dismounted from her gallant horse
she had served you and worked well as your squire
not meant as a ladies deed, for the needs to hire


To the lovely young lass with hair too match
closed in your tower with a mate to catch
will you look beneath your locks and see
real beauty lies where the soul wants to be...

In focus of someone real, unlike the object which had you attracted
not just physical appeal where true love is not easily extracted,
away from the mirror of conceit when you feel the heat
away from the placid reflections that invite heartless rejections.


superficial looks will always remain skin deep
and exclude inner qualities you'll want to keep.

Yes, I think that maybe I could!

Love is like Mumps.....the older you are when you catch it....the worse it feels

Loverlost, Passing

A lot can learn and a few want to apply it..knowing that the exterior gloss fades with time...well then it's like smoking then, some habits are so hard to stop. Thanks for sharing
