The Ugly Beauty Queen

Your ass is slightly enlarged Your hips are somewhat wide You have wrinkles all over your thighs You eyes they droop Crows feet shoot me dead With your dreary eye stare The world sees ugly, over due and despair Your chest is a scar Red and ripe, disfigured and bare Your time is up Old maiden of the past Your saggy story makes you a sad lass However not all is as it seems Those passerby’s who seek no depth They know not the secrets of innocent youth They drink not from the water of the wise well I see you, so clear I cry Your smile, your laughter and you wonder why? I have fallen for you, faults and all For me it’s your beauty that stands so tall You are a painting on a museum wall Desired, your smile for sure does enthrall Your voice sings to the heavens above Your touch upon my heart melts my cold dark wounds The lines I see upon your face Each a sign of wisdom and grace May I kiss that scar upon your chest? May I confess you that scare is the door to your desires A place I dreamed to live from the start Let me dance, let me sing You are my beauty, so let me in Love letters flow, like grapes to wine Silently we sway to and fro, passing time In my veins you flow, you can not run away Needless dances of insecure thoughts If only, if only I could have this last Serenade

A person's true beauty lies within, so what is the need for a mirror... I really liked this tender poem and the message you send with it, Arthur!... This may be written as a free verse, but there are subtle rhymes in here that keep the poem moving at a nice pace. Great work!

You are kind, I know its not a poetic beauty, nor a good poem, but I hope the message is clear, beauty comes from the inside. That much was heartfelt.
