Charm and Beauty

Charm and beauty
are the virtues that
women should possess;
it's not the prettiness
and gentleness, but
the bond of fidelity. 

Charm and beauty
can tempt a seductress
to lure victims
into her candle-lit den;
Venus, goddess of sin,
gives pleasure to men,
  " Drink this potion,
it will guarantee ecstasy " 

God praises and blesses
women who never transgress.

yeah as the Bible says, Charm is deceptive and Beauty fleeting, but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised...right?
