PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

long, lovely limbs of well proportioned grace

slap the confines of modesty quite soundly

across her down turned face

a hearty rebel is he who so dares

command a brief and self offered dance

from this comely damsel in fetching black garb

wearing the tattoos of obvious romance

Scarlet is she, well dare I say not

more so a fine displayer of all a woman's got

only much better packaged in garments that fit

all too well

as her feminine favors are quite sought

her secrets she'll never freely tell

a good work out of the mind

could aptly venture a guess

she is out on her husband perhaps

flirting a little

no less

or maybe she is quite a bit younger than

her womanly figure states

and is here putting herself on line to

practice her craft of torturing prospective

future mates

anyway, it makes no mind to sit and further

ponder her likeliest intent

the whole point is all very well taken

as is her latest appearance

like mine once was truly and singularly meant

looks more often deceive as they none to subtly

ply to please

just because one sees incredible physical beauty

does not necessarily mean 100% beauty is there

the inside like the pearl of  the ugly clam

is truly a treasure so rare

so, don't put so much faith in the physical

beauty nor take it for granted

for what looks good is not always good

and opinions once so far along down the road

of aging can become grim once slanted

so its best to remember

beauty should only be what you make of it

not how you use it..................
