Beauty
Beauty lies not
in her eyes:
Fair eyes like the winter's brow,
beckoning to eyes,
arresting attentions.
Beauty lies in the heart:
What does she say?
Her words contrary
to her actions?-
A dog in lambs clothing.
'Abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh'...
1)Looking stern like an
indifferent moor:
Looking mild like the rageless sea.
But within her is
an adder of seven heads,
pouring out venom with
detestable hatred.
Beware of such:
A demon in an Angel's regalia.
Their actions speak volume of them.
2)Looking wild like an
hungry cheetah,
Whose claws are curious
for blood.
Not presentable and ugly
within her lies an hidden jewel.
Which beems not through her eyes,
But through the acts of her heart.-
An Angel in an aged clothing.
By her fruit you shall know her!
3)"The eyes talks not of beauty. The heart does."
