Beauty
I love seeing the best, even in the worst
But I love better than worse
Yes! I prefer good to bad
A lot I’ve heard,
Hmn, a lot I’ve had.
A cut in flesh
Wound(s) on your leg,
Spots on face,
Deformity in veins,
All summed to equal pain…
I care a little about these issues
I see handsomeness in its best, even in “worst”
cuts in flesh
The spots and “faults” to me are awesome
The folds on face, slowness in pace,
Is all minus shame!
Our flesh covers our bones
How beautiful are those “bones”?
Your smiles?
Your posing posture, minus fats?
Beauty “full”! Innit?!
The “sheets” on your bone are smoother than
“Jones’”
Yes! But beds are “beds” without their sheets!
Consider your sheet a bed’s sheet!
Not a proud, different sheet, or a better meat!
You and “Jones” have the same bones
You are “beauty” “full” so is Jones!
