Glamour

When splendor shimmers hypnotized glance
O, glamour, how captivating is your stance,
Aesthetic, harmonious, brushstrokes of art,
Flaring embers of elation in enamored heart.

Opulence of your aura lights glorious flame
Showcasing gems, glittering ornate acclaim
Ravishing pulses-fervid of inflamed desire
From stunning demeanor of alluring attire.

You are a flirtation, an enchanting display,
An embroidery woven, motifs exotic relay,
On fabric of life, teasing impulses of mind;
Fascinations galore, masterminds designed.

Yet, I wonder, if your charm is real, is it all true,
Are you a diamond, through and through;
Be not spurious, be not dubious, divulge a clue,
Behind glittering façade is it genuine you?

Be not a counterfeit to unsuspecting sight,
O, glamor, dazzle not, sparkling false delight
For inner halo is brighter that a phony smile,
Be the authentic grandeur of affluent style.

Suzanne Delaney July 12, 2023 at 3:50 AM Excellent thoughts, Vijay: I often think that some can have glamour but with true sincerity behind a glamour-us facade it can give them an edge of real beauty. Well penned thoughts, SuZ

Michael Tor July 2, 2023 at 3:22 PM Wow Vijay. What a clever theme. Love the dual meaning. In life we meet those with a beautiful outward appearance but inside they are not. Great deceivers they are. I hope though that this painting in true and authentic like the caring souls that are out there and their outward appearance is what is true to their inside self. Another favorite Vijay. Clever metaphor my friend. Big Congratualtions on your win. God bless you...

Valsa George June 26, 2023 at 7:59 PM "Be not a counterfeit to unsuspecting sight, O, glamor, dazzle not, sparkling false delight For inner halo is brighter than a phony smile, Be the authentic grandeur of affluent style." These lines show that there is an inner halo in you. Beauty emanates from inside and when it reflects on the exterior, we can say that a person is really glamorous. Lovely poem with a sedate and seasoned outlook on life. Vijay Pandit June 30, 2023 at 5:49 AM You are so very kind --taking the time to offer detailed insights on Soup. Much appreciate your support, Valsa. Many thanks.

Brandy Nicole June 26, 2023 at 5:40 PM I like the word (halo). Such a wonderful way to describe inner beauty. True beauty comes from within and shines on the outside. A "real" diamond will "always" be the brightest. Your thoughts hold meaning, and they shine brightly, my dear friend. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy Vijay Pandit June 30, 2023 at 5:47 AM You are so right--A "real" diamond will "always" be the brightest! Always a joy to read your remarks my dear friend. Much appreciate your support, Brandy. Many thanks and hugs to you as well.
