Beauty Inside

Your beauty deep inside
Behind those bedroom eyes
Most men will fail to find
With you only as a prize

I can see it clear as day
Shining from your soul
Hiding from the prey
It truly makes you whole

So wipe away your tears
Set your beauty free
Leave behind your fears
Come walk away with me

Robert Gruhn Date: 8/23/2014 3:52:00 PM Hi Tim, the one line in this piece that I query, "Hiding from the prey", her beauty is hiding from the hunted animal? Hiding from a human victim? Thanks, Robert Login to Reply The Grahamburglar Date: 9/8/2016 6:59:00 PM I had the same thought. I think if we use it as a verb, as in hiding from "the act of preying, or plundering" it works, but it's unclear how that might make one whole. In any case, I tend to agree that it's ambiguous, and probably could be reworked to clarify the meaning.

Keith Merritt Date: 8/17/2014 7:03:00 AM Ahh...the value placed on mere surface appearance...INFLATION DRIVES THE NATION, not just in the economy but embedded deeply into the aesthetic culture, too ! A gentle heart is priceless. With a face to match it is a ticket into heaven.

Charmaine Chircop Date: 8/10/2014 10:52:00 PM Yes some men get lost in a woman's appearance ..They get lost in ribbons and wrapping ,forgetting the gift..That's the beauty inside.This poem is marvelous,it takes a great man to be able to appreciate and understand what a woman really wants.You achieved that goal.The ending of the poems is like a splash of comfort on a saddened soul..Awesome!! Login to Reply Tim Smith Date: 8/10/2014 10:57:00 PM Thank you Charma....A woman's inner beauty is what gets me every time :) hugs Tim :)
