Conviction of beauty

Contributed by Deidra_Carmichael on Saturday, 12th December 2009 @ 07:43:50 AM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
That is what they say
And by looking at you now
I see beauty, perfection, exquisiteness
You're hair is of a golden tint with a wispy curl
Piercing blue eyes are what you possess and they turn heads
I've seen only a few like you before
And the last man was killed by his vanity

He never thought of what the future could hold
Rather he only cared of what his features showed
Yet this was done with the help of deception
A taste of debauchery; a hint of evil
Still the corruption didn't show
For it was hidden under a purple veil, a frame of secrecy

He believed he could see his flaws as well as his Maker
If only he could change his ways
For the love of his friends and lovers awaited him
Nevertheless, the man refused to change
He believed it was too late to turn back
With that being said he kept in hiding from the Lord

He was destroyed the way he destroyed his lover and friends
If only he had stopped when he saw the blood on his hands
So you see, beauty is precious to all
But it is only a trait; a physical fading
A bit of advice: Don't let tempting words get a hold of you
Don't let a bad conscience capture and convict you
And never let your pride, your youth ever control you

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
