Let Not Our Eyes Be Fools

Love

Tis true all that glitters is not gold;
But if you could only see the way her skin shines,
Or the white angels in her mouth that cast a spell when our lips do touch.
However, tis not a worry how this world may fool our eyes.
Many have known beautiful things bad,
And yet the most beautiful thing I do love.
“Hypocrite! Hypocrite!” they cry.
Nay is my reply.
I love the way she makes me feel.
