Pictures

Though you’re beautiful in pictures, better in reality Yet beauty and youth are ruined by time So in pictures you shall find immortality -That preserves your beauty- and saves your prime Though they are endeavors to defy time and death They are like a fridge, preserves but cold Unfortunately they're currently the only way, miss But what is shown is better than what just told Pictures are the best way to preserve your beauty Because they are weak or will be before it, the bards They can’t be entrusted with such duty Nor the eyes of your many lovers and hearts Take pictures,miss, shall your beauty live on To fascinate people, in your life and after you’re gone

Love your poem, Mohamed, I'm a packrat when it comes to pictures so I see the beauty that is captured and kept as keepsakes but sometimes wish that moment would be regained. Hugs Eve a big 7777

Interesting, native americans believed [as well as other cultures] your soul can be trapped/caught in a picture? Light & Love
