Poem
A perfect beauty A perfect beauty could be different beneath the skin. They may be beautiful on the outside, But dark secrets may be hidden underneath. The person we desire could be blinding us from their faults; The lover we require may be a detached love so far away from us. In silence we remain alone; In voice we give birth to love. Without a love of our own, We remain less than we should have become. We have to see past lust And delve deep under to find love; Because a love built solely on lust, Will crumble and become lost. If we remain true to love and do not just accept anyone; We will find what we need, if we are lucky enough to find the one. The words have already told us, That love is everything that we need. So stay faithful to your faith in love And you will find your real love, eventually. Obsessing over beauty will only leave us so sad; We may miss out on love, for them and they may never know. If you think they are the one, But then you see the flaws they never had; You will regret what you did or didn’t do and you will end up alone. Be open to love, for every love is a gift; Do not take anyone for granted, or they will soon be gone. Throw your arms around love; do not let it be missed, Because you cannot change what you have already done And if they really are so perfect, then why are they alone? A flawed beauty is what we should desire; A painful past will bring you closer together. A love full of lust burns the brightest fire; A lust without love, will never last forever. Being honest to love is not such a risk, When you compare it to being honest with only lust. Love will protect you every hour, in every kiss; But with each lover, you wear away love and away goes the trust. In stars we search for understanding, for meaning and for sight; In songs we find understanding, true meaning and insight. In marriage we become new beings, living a whole new life. A beauty without flaws is called perfection; it is also a lie. Seek what you want and accept what you will; Profit where you may and put your trust in who you want. Desire all you can have and let no tear ever be wrongfully spilled; Live for lust, or lust for love; Live for love and you will find that you are now at one with the one. (C)2016 Aa Harvey.
