Curves and pretty swerves Twinkling eyes Soft skin Full lips.... Yes, follow my road to hell--- Lips that deceive with the ease of a smile Eyes that hide the truth inside Skin bears scars But we all know beauty lies... *****kynder The years teach much which the days never know. Ralph Waldo Emerson |

An excellent poem as usual. I especially like the irony implied in the three dots at the end of the line "But we all know beauty lies ...". We "know", but most forget, as the demon Beauty is most convincing. Uta Lotharingia "Wir wollen nicht Wert und Sinn ... wir wollen Unwert und Unsinn" Raoul Hausmann |

Hi Kynder! Wow! I like all of your poetry, but especially this one. I read it once, and it compelled me to write a poem of my own, which I will post. Thank you for sharing your poetry.  |

Beauty and image is a favourite poem subject of mine. I often wonder if beauty just is what it is yet we expect more, we dissect beauty and create our own abstract form. Maybe beauty does not lie but blinds our eyes so that we don't see the truth, maybe we are the ones who lie TO OURSELVES about beauty. I am on a rant...sorry. You just got me thinking... yes a great poem enjoyed this a lot. apologises but I could resist the obligatory Manic Street Preachers reference. "Beauty finds refuge in herself Lovers wrapped inside each others lies Beauty is such a terrible thing She is suffering yet more than death" lyrics from She is Suffering. < !signature--> ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 06-09-2000).] |
