From Beauty To Beauty
From beauty to beauty
A beautiful spouse is a journey to nowhere
A journey from beauty of the naked eye
To beauty of perpetual plea with the Maker
Here in this world of deceitful existence
In squalor she is the joy of your sorrow
In opulence she is the sorrow of your joy
Squalor and opulence double edged they are
She enjoys her beauty in your joy and sorrow
If you marry her as your Morning Glory
She may wither in the drying sun of want
If you win her heart as a cherished treasure
Millionaires may dig gold in your house
If you elope her due to her shapeliness
Immediately start constant prayer journey;
Reciting, “In the names of the Father,
And of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
Ask the Lord to seal your Owl-like eyes;
And to wax your Donkey-like ears
Pray your plastic mouth be shut up for good
Invoke the Maker for grace to enjoy darkness
But if you marry her as divine pearl
You will ride together winds of bliss
The stormy sea you will face together
Till death do you part to infinite light
