The Madness In Your Beauty

I once had met a girl And her smile made me nervous And when I saw her eyes twinkle It had made the stars imperfect I had showed her all my love But not a speck, had she returned it I'd never thought an angel Could do one dirty as a vermin I once had thought her pure But surely now she was a serpent And I realized at this moment That all beauty is a curtain When you peek inside the curtain, You see that beauty covers evil And sometimes the pretty faces Are on the ugliest of people

That her eyes could make the stars imperfect - I love this. A simple yet oh-so-poetic thing; I hope you keep writing, writing like a wild man. : ) Yeah, sometimes an evil person is really good-looking, but I think it's extremly hard to truly hide all of it - there is a "hardness" to a pretty, evil person that's usually visible. Or am I just being foolishly romantic about this?

No, you're right, I get what you're saying lol you can usually see some indication beforehand, most of the time.

You are wise.... I know so many people who just don't see that, who only base an opinion on the outside. There's a great cadence and rhythm to this poem I like.

This is very true. We (people) tend to put a lot of importance on outward appearance... but when we see what is inside, we see the true beauty or lack of beauty. Nice poem.
